Again, it's silly to watch a video and come to a conclusion, but it's a message board so I will anyways; From the insane "I'm trying to save my life" to the way he maneuvered around. It all just screamed "war vet goes crazy and thinks he's back on the field after seeing gun raised towards him".

PTSD defense is a bunch of baloney. There is no credible evidence to suggest it makes you violent. Additionally, in World War 1 and 2, imagine how many people suffered PTSD? It must be in the millions. Yet, you did not see a jump in murders in Europe. He may as well say he is suffering from anxiety. No sympathy from me. Imagine the Police Officer's poor family. His kids knowing their father's death is just a click away from viewing on YouTube. I feel so bad for his children.
