I’ve never been in law enforcement. Nor have any of my family. As a coincidence I was in the middle of reading a book titled, The Power of Habit when the shooting occurred.
Thanks to a man who had brain damage, scientists recently learned where habits reside in the brain. They reside where conscious thought doesn’t apply.
That’s why the retired cop didn’t do a show and tell with the gun. He was on automatic. Same happens with some veterans. You don’t want to wake them out of a deep sleep or make a sudden loud noise around them.
He never pulled and shot his weapon in 30 years of law enforcement -- so then how could that have been automatic???

Seemingly a good reason to prohibit police from possessing weapons when off duty.
