Don't draw your weapon until you know the threat is near.
Holster or drop your weapon as LEOs draw near.
Don't take the chance on being mistaken for the bad guy!
“Note to the would-be good guys with a gun:
Don’t draw your weapon until you know the threat is near.
Holster or drop your weapon as LEOs draw near.
Don’t take the chance on being mistaken for the bad guy!”
... and don’t run from the police.
Maybe he was one of the bad guys?
