Say what?,,,
,,,with officers shooting at them like it was the OK corral, that's hearsay and probably bull****.
Tell that to the dead cop whose scenario we are discussing.
LEOs aren't bestowed with magical LEO powers,,,
They are excitable human beings just like we all are,,,
They make mistakes like this all the time in the heat of the moment.
Just like the U. C. Riverside police officer who pulled a gun on my wife,,,
She had dropped her keys by the car door and he thought she was breaking in the car,,,
He pulled his gun on her and shouted for her to "get her ass on the effing ground right now!
So what you might ask?,,,
He was simply doing his job?,,,
She was one of the PD dispatchers,,,
And she was wearing her danged uniform.
I was a CSO for that same PD,,,
Basically I was a walking burglar alarm with a radio.
In two years of doing that job,,,
I had to stare down the barrel of a gun twice,,,
They knew I was out there yet they got freaked out and pulled their weapons.
Hearsay to you maybe,,,
Reality to me and my wife.
So cops make errors in judgement on as regular a basis as we civilians,,,
The moral of my story is that you can not put your faith that any LEO will do the proper thing.
They are human,,,
To err is in their/our very nature.
Because of that a person carrying had better spend a bit of thought on what to do when the cops get there.
my guess would be anyone responding to a shots fired or man with a gun call will already be on edge, reaching for your credentials at the sight of a uniformed officer could be seen as a BG reaching for a gun.
My point exactly!
