27. I was wondering the same thing.

The paramedic was alarmed enough by the guy’s behavior that he got the gun away from him and very shortly gives it back to him. The cop is obviously still having his “episode” as he heaves and gasps until the video ends. Seems to me that the paramedic involved in this fiasco needs to review procedures involving someone having an episode like this cop was having. It WAS clearly not over when he gave the gun back.

And correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t the cop the only one who fired a weapon? And then he screams that shots are fired and calls for back up help? He had some kind of break with reality.

If this deputy is still on this department and I lived in Servier County, I think I’d be looking for another county or state to live. 😳
