OMG he not only did a Negligent discharge but he put it in the air...

*face palm*

I was taught to never pull the firearm until the justification to fire existed, there was not pointing, no ND, no threatening.

when you feel your life is in danger you draw and fire, I am not a LEO, I am not authorized to actually legally point a firearm at a person ( I think its Assault with a Deadly weapon)
this guy was way off the reservation..

now i will say that police should also have gotten the thugs who threatened him, but he messed that up with a ND.
all he should have done was shine his flashlight into their eyes and told them the police are on the way.
if they got within threat range with a knife or bat, defend you life.

*sigh*
