But I did not make up the whole pop-up target thing. Police academies use them, and private training academies use them. And some diabolical training officer certainly could include a target of a man with his hand in his pocket.

My hypothetical is reasonable. In that specific training situation (on a target range, not in the middle of a firefight), should the cop shoot?

And I’ll give you the last word on this, as I’ve got a Charlie Chan movie ready to go on the DVD player.

Heh. I'll give you one better, that I have actually seen in training: a man holding a caulking "gun". Really gives you something to think about after the exercise ...
