He went at the officers with a GUN. He wasn't thinking about his son, or about anyone else except himself at that point. HIS criminal activity and actions dictatetd what occured. NOTHING ELSE. If HE would not had the gun and pointed it at the officers HE would still be here to say how good of a guy he is. I am sure he was going to go to vetrinary school to improve his life like the other dope dealers. If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a sh*thead.
