soooooo the only thing that can stop a bad cop with a gun… is a good cop with a gun?

Cop 1: Let's try to get this guy using Good Cop/Bad Cop.

Police enter interrogation room

GC: Can I get you anything? Water? Some food?

BC: Shoots perp in the head DIE MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

GC: What the fuck?? I didn't even get to ask him any questions!

BC: Gun still drawn I was trying to shoot YOU!!!

GC: OH SHIT!!! Draws weapon and shoots the perp again FUCK!

BC: FUCK!

Police Captain: Enters room with stern look on his face Well, you just killed our only lead... But good work! From the looks of things, he was about to attempt to murder one of y'all and that would be super illegal!

GC: Shoots Bad Cop dead NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! OFFICER BRIAN!!!!! Fires gun in the air 7 more times and kills 3 more officers on the floor above and maims an immigrant

PC: Great work from a good cop! Let's grab lunch and celebrate your upcoming paid probationary period. There's an amazing resort you can take your partner's widow to, she won't be able to say no...

Assuming the other cop is the good cop in this scenario, apparently not.

He was just waiting for a moment with plausible deniability, right? Maybe it will hold up better in the appeals.
