“Tony Herbert, a community advocate in East New York, said that it was not unusual for police officers to patrol with their guns drawn.
“Honestly, I’d probably do the same thing if I’m walking into a dark staircase,” he said. “You want to be prepared for the worst if you feel the environment is threatening.””
Mr. Armed & Dangerous first put his fellow Thug-N-Uniform at risk by holding his gun while walking down a stairway. If he missed a step and stumbled, his finger may well squeeze the trigger in a reflex tightening of his hand around a solid object. That is a core human reflex, left over from our evolutionary period in the trees - grab or fall.
So, a rookie, with the all too common minimal firearms training given to police, leads with a drawn gun, and shoots an innocent man.
