It'll certainly impact mine.
I plan to start *physically* practicing the art of safely surrendering to the cops just like I dryfire and live-fire at the range. I'll add a traffic stop scenario to that as well. Just educating yourself and tossing it around in your mind doesn't seem to be enough anymore.
This incident has really ramped up my discomfort with our encroaching police state.
Previous posters on other threads regarding this story have mentioned that the best way to surrender to the cops if you are legally carrying is to put your hands up, let them know you are armed, do not move, and tell them where the weapon is.
The downside to that is having three cops all shouting different instructions to you, which is possibly the case here. Drop it, don't move, get down. All distinctly different and mutally exclusive actions.
Standard practice should be for the senior, or initial officer on the scene being the only one giving instructions to the perp.
