Exactly, unfortunately these threads bring out the cops are thugs and killers comments.
The reality is that the cops actions appear to be nothing more than the result of poor tactical training and terrible judgment. I dont 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.
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. :)
Costco ping.
