Problem is as it stands now, they don’t even have to SEE a gun. All it takes is not IMMEDIATELY obeying commands, moving your hand too fast towards your torso, reaching down to pull up your pants, reaching in your back pocket to pull out your ID, having ANYTHING in your hand that might be mistaken for a gun, another officer yelling that one word “GUN” even though the shooting officer does not see one and that officer might be mistaken.
We are now in a situation where “shoot first and ask questions later” and “Better to be safe than sorry” are the rules of engagement. Our soldiers give more benefit of the doubt to an enemy they are taking prisoner or civilians in a battle zone than our own Law Enforcement does our own citizens.
He would have been shot if he had a donut in his hand, cop was too amped up , probably at 11.
A friend did it some time back. The Cops saw it, and no mention of it was made. It was 1 AM, and they were there to tell him his wife had been injured. A domestic call might have had them in edge.
