Police dont dick around with people charging at them claiming they have a gun. Period. These guys are regular people with families too and there is no reason for them to take this unnecessary risk. What if it had been a real gun and he'd killed 10 cops?

That being said though, 20 shots fired? His mom not mentioning anything about history of mental illness to the 911 operator that might change how the police handle the situation? Something doesnt add.
