Like the situational awareness of the leading officer as he pushes the fork and knife to the back of the table as he walks out of the restaurant. Glad the good guys are safe.
Maybe he found a rat in his cobb salad.
It was a BB gun. Here's a video from the other cop's perspective

I'm not embedding until a mod weighs in. Technically, we're watching a guy die on YouTube.

Video: Texas cops fatally shoot man who pulled replica
Cops very well-trained. Notice how he moves the cutlery while walking out, and watches the perp walk past. All happens very fast once outside.
That went from some idiot in a public restroom (he did something to bring the police, chances are it was idiotic) to "your life is in grave danger" really quick. LEOs: please break down what happened. The male officer shoved the bad guy putting him off-balance/couldn't make a good shot. Something tells me that wasn't accidental. This could have turned out much worse if they hadn't gained the advantage.
So somebody has to ask: what was his username?
