one of the cop training courses promotes the idea that anyone with in like … 22 feet of you … has the potential to kill you.
so anytime they get close to a person that is “unsecured” and could “pose a threat” they use a lot of ready positions like a deadly tennis player looking to beat the odds on serve.
basically we are all perpetrators until proven otherwise.
I actually took some training about crowd/prisoner management back when I was in the army preparing for a deployment. Turns out a guy with a knife out who runs at you can usually get within stabbing distance, before a gun is drawn, anywhere within about 22 feet (or so).
If you assume everyone is out to get you because they’re all murdering criminals, then yeah, gotta keep your hand on your gun whenever they’re not social distancing enough. Fucking pigs.
There was a whole episode of justified about it!

While having us voluntarily handcuff ourselves behind our backs while lying face down.
With our own knees on our backs
I can tell you from experience that I absolutely notice when police do this to me and it absolutely feels like a threat. Being a police officer in the US isn’t even close to being the most dangerous profession but they treat every interaction as if this will be the one that kills them.
In most states simply touching your holstered weapon during a confrontation is defined as Assault.
Yeah - your weapon. Not theirs.
Suuuuuper fair logical makes sense dot com
Never grab your own weapon in front of a cop, what are you crazy? Grab theirs. Both problems solved, plus any new problems that arise? Now you have the tools to address those!
Why did I read this in the voice of Salvador from Borderlands?
I never played it, but I know a compliment when I hear one
It’s a DWB (Driving While Black)!!
For citizens with a firearm this is called menacing. For cops it’s safety…
If the citizen placed his hand on a gun during the interaction the LEO would have immediately started fEaRing fur muh life!!! and started blasting.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Acorns fall on cars and LEOs fear for their lives.
Acorns are loaded guns, didn’t you know? That’s how one managed to shoot a cop by falling onto the car
That guy is clearly driving while black.
That is an American problem, the police assume you are armed even when there is no confrontation happening on a routine check.
The solution to a bad man with a gun is a good man with guns. Either way.
At least that is the rule in US.
You can tell he’s a bad cop by his neck rolls.
What neck rolls?
They’re like multiple chins, but on the back. I know, I’ve been blessed with them both. True, it ‘may’ have something to do with my diet. But hey, Iced Coffee is my religion.

I know what neck rolls are.
There aren’t any on that image.

Why would you assume that?
I think I know why.
Sure, but it’s more fun when they tell on themselves in front of everyone.
If the guy was actually perceived as a threat, there’d be backup and the cop would be 15 feet back with weapon drawn
No, but i think you are nazi bootlicker lol
Hmm why are you all of a sudden being suspicious by default instead of assuming he’s just a really nice guy? 🤔
