This is how you deal with police in a banana republic.
Next you will advise us to wrap your license in a $20 bill.
No, I figure this should be the situation were I in the officer’s shoes.
Importantly, I am a proponent of “Old West” rules for LEOs, rules that were foolishly superseded by SWAT rules in the mid-1970s; as well as for states to de-paramilitarize their LEOs.
However, LEOs do face off, far too often, against real bad men, so have to have the attitude, especially with road stops, that somebody may come out of their vehicle guns blazing, or with the intent to kill.
As an aside, in real “banana republics”, their police are often toting machine guns. And while the officer you see in Germany, for example, may not have a gun at all, the one you do not see has a machine gun as well. With the safety off.
North America is different in that our cops usually are on their own, and just have a pistol. So somewhat different tactical rules.
The victim in this case made two very bad errors. The first was in exiting his vehicle without being told to, and the second was reaching in his bed for his cane. And that’s enough to get you shot.
