Just to be curious, did you really command that person to touch his weapon? If so, why?

“Just to be curious, did you really command that person to touch his weapon? If so, why?”

Yes, it was “Shows us your weapon,” and that is because that is what we were told to do.

I was a pilot for 15 years; basically a civilian pulling guard duty -— my ground training involved running away and hiding.

The smartest guy I ever saw ignored our commands to drop his weapon, instead kept his hands WAY over his head, fingers spread, turned around, then slowly dropped to his knees.

Many of us are curious about that. We know why police do it. I hope it is not the same.
