I really have better things to do than get shot by deputy Fife.

Exactly, unfortunately these threads bring out the “cops are thugs and killers” comments.

The reality is that the cop’s actions appear to be nothing more than the result of poor tactical training and terrible judgment. I don’t believe that they would just shoot someone for possession of a concealed weapon, the guy could just as easily been an off duty cop for Gods sake.

He doesn't seem to have pointed the gun at anyone or displayed it in a threatening manner. If he was told to “drop the gun” then he WAS following police instruction, and in that case it would be the police's fault.

You will see a lot of "frequent fliers" with the police that don't even listen to the commands they are given, they just prone themselves out.
That makes sense to me.

Confronted by hysterical cops?

Lay down flat, arms extended, fingers spread.

To be specific, face down, feet spread, toes out, arms straight out, palms up, face away from the officer. :)
