As one cop explained to me, cops try to avoid the need to pull out the gun whenever possible. However, if it I deemed necessary to pull out a gun, unless the peep is making it very obvious that he is surrendering, the cop has has decided to shoot.
They do not pull out a gun unless they are planning to shoot. If they are planning to shoot, it’s going to be dead centre.
That is so bogus. Cops are notorious for their poor marksmanship, easy to find so many instances where there is a hail of bullets from the police and no one get a nick. And for the other, ever watch the cop shows? So many cops with their guns out, no shots, they put them back in their holster.
