Model 1911’s that look like the one in the picture aren’t that common. It looks phony to me from the get go.I would have asked the kid what was going on with that pistol. He probably would have replied and be alive. The cops aren’t kings they shouldn’t expect to be instantly obeyed especially by 12 year kids. They get paid to take risk that’s part of the meaning of “To Protect and Serve “. If someone can’t handle that they shouldn’t become police officers.

i would suspect that any weapon drawn from a “waistband”..would on the heat of the moment look alarmingly real.

Ever hear of the classroom demonstration example of someone drawing a banana...and the “witnesses” later swearing it looked like a gun.

theres at least a fifty percent chance that the cop in question is not at all “happy” about what happened.

It looks fair like a CZ75. Does this mean you only fear guns you can recognize?
