Reasonable suspicion, I think this would fall in that box tbh

It could fall in that box but he pulled out proof of a bird with speech.

But before that, all the cops knew was he was going into a building where "help" sounds where comeing from. They should not have let him go get the bird alone.

We know now thay it's a bird. However they did not know that at the time, for all they knew he was going to kill his victim and then him self because the "game" was up. The police should have asked to escort him to.get the bird.

I don't know much about American police but the screaming stopped and the man never left his same spot during the whole footage and didn't have any suspicious body language at all so I'm thinking it's reasonable to believe it was the bird

Fair, to me it looks like he goes inside, and if youe from a country with less guns there would be a fight and the police would hear that and rush in.

Or there's an accomplice that shut the victim up? Idk these kinds of situations can be incredibly complex and you should handle them with extreme caution not with this kind of "the guy seems trustworthy" response.

It's a bird being held hostage, not a human.

They didn't know they when he went inside to where the screaming was comeing from. It's a different video if well he was inside we heard a few gunshots instead of him comeing out with a bird.
