    Its not like its easy for the people to stop. Person À and Person B are both involved in a scuffle. Cop or whatever tells them to stop. If A stops but B doesn’t stop, A just gets his ass kicked as a best case, or might get killed as a worst case if B has a weapon, for example. And vice versa. They have to both stop at the same time, which means expecting coordination between them which is ridiculous.

    There’s also the very real possibility that the homeowner did stop and freeze, but person B kept attacking, and so the cop still shot at them since they didn’t both stop.

    It’s ridiculous that this needs explaining to a supposedly trained cop.
