But he was in an all out run, so I have big time doubts he was doing anything but run and maybe toss the weapon while he was running. The point being, he was in full flight with his back to the officers and they in fact did not see a weapon in his pants. It's possible he was reaching for a cell phone. No shots hit him in his front and the video clearly shows the kid running away.
Two things, he wasn't going anywhere and they had his pal.
It's a dangerous job and sometimes things get muddy. This didn't look like it was one of those times (edit - muddy - it's always a dangerous job).
