Yea thats what happened. He ran away, dropped his cell phone, picked it back up. Never pointed it...because its a cellphone...turned to run away and cop in the split second thought it was the weapon they later found on his waist. The end result may have been the same but there is no need to lie about the facts.

video clearly showed it was a pistol. Witnesses from the church confirmed the guy was a lethal threat as well.
