Cops are generally not quiet, so they are screaming at you, most likely to “drop your gun!”

*******************************************

Reminds me of the guy that was killed at the Costco in Nevada. Witnesses said several cops were yelling different orders.

“Get on the ground”
“Drop your gun”
“Turn around”

All prudent things for a cop to yell - just not all at once. Witnesses also said the gun was in a soft carrying holster - which I suppose in the rush of things may have looked like a gun to the cops when they killed.

Seems some training for the cops would be good as well as for the CC folks.

That Nevada Costco event horrified me, as it is a no-win scenario. Even sticking your arms straight up is of little protection at that point, as the movement alone is likely enough to get at least one of the fools shooting.

Made worse by many police departments having an unofficial policy that “If you fire your gun, empty it. Six shots will not get you into any more trouble than one.”

“Deep Kimchi”, as a friend of mine once said.
