If I were on the jury, that actually wouldn’t matter to me. No one should be shot for reaching for his cell phone, scratching his leg, or pulling up his pants.

If you don’t see an actual gun, you shouldn’t shoot. If a suspect seems to be reaching for his waistband, back off and assess the situation. Would this be putting the cop in more danger? Possibly. But that is, unfortunately, the nature of the job.

Just like a fireman rushing into a burning building is put in more danger. It is, unfortunately, the nature of the job.

We ought to know it by now. Public sector unions have pretty well killed chivalry dead. Yeah... if possible also I'd want the most dangerous things approached by officers who are single and aren't "worried about returning to their families." By stressing just one side of a multi-sided issue, these rascally lefties can really get us jerking around.
