I think we have one troll here posting under several different names.

The posts are not only similar, not only repeat the same bogus crap, but they are similarly dimwitted. (See “Dunning-Kruger effect.”)

“When you have the drop on someone it’s real easy to shoot them when you see them pull out a weapon.”

Yup. Classic Dunning-Kruger. How many people have *you* shot after they drew a gun on you?

“I’m guessing you don’t shoot much, if at all.”

Your low intelligence leads you to guess wrongly again.

“Many people can barely hit a person sized target at ten or 15 feet when they’re standing, breathing, aiming, and slowly shooting.”

So you want to require policemen to stake their lives on your idea of what “most people” can do. Oh, well, “most people” can’t hit anybody, so I’ll just give him two or three free shots before I react. Dumbass.

“If you were intoxicated, confused, being yelled at, and your pants started falling down, you’d instinctively try to pull them up.”

Never in a million years.

“I highly doubt in that state you’d have the presence of mind to not grab your pants.”

No, I'm pretty sure you've used the same name the whole time. Of course, in someone else's thread of argument you might have done so, but not for me.

How is that classic Dunning-Kruger? Do you even know what their work described? This is a physics question, not psychology. A person pointing a gun has to click. A person drawing has to draw, move the firearm and point it in the proper direction, aim, then click. Possibly rack it since a lot of people don't keep theirs loaded. And me having shot anyone or not is irrelevant to the argument. Ask yourself this, even ignoring cops and drunkeness: would you rather be the guy with the gun drawn, or the guy who has to pull his out, aim, and shoot? Which guy do you think would have a better chance of winning that gunfight?

Funny. You keep displaying the same things you accuse me of doing.

No, but they shouldn't be engaging any targets until there's an actual threat. A drunk, submissive guy crawling on the floor is close to the lowest threat level possible. And no, dumbass, the cop should react when he sees a weapon. Not after the guy pulls his pants up then puts his EMPTY hand back on the floor. And, the cop in the video had an even better angle to see what the guy was doing, compared to a camera in the middle of his chest. Plus, the other cops with him said they saw no threat, and none of them engaged. So obviously he wasn't such a terrible danger as you say he was.

Again, what does that have to do with drunk, scared people pulling up their pants when they start falling? But at least we know you're not in the club, half your replies don't even relate to what I said, they just keep spamming the same thing.
