He was going for his gun. Seeing how it became unholstered and was on the floor of the car. That doesn't happen UNLESS it is pulled out by the idiot. Keep watching where it plainly shows that gun and where it ended up. I've got guns and holsters that no matter what you do, you ain't going to get it out UNLESS you draw your weapon.That's part of the purpose of holstering a weapon to prevent it from falling and to keep it from firing UNTIL you draw it to use.Skans » 20 Apr 2023, 2:10 pm » wrote: ↑ Ok, I watch the segment you pointed out to. The officer told him to step out of the car. The kid was wearing a seat belt. In order to comply, the kid needed to undo the seatbelt. The kid was moving slowly. He looked like he was trying to comply; that he likely forgot that he even had a gun.
The cop should have done a couple of things:Now, it might look like he was going for his gun, but I doubt it. The cops overreacted. I also think the kid was extremely stupid in how he handled himself with a gun strapped to his hip, but he's not the paid professional, the cops are.
- Should have asked the kid if he had a firearm before even asking him to step out of the car.
- If the kid said yes, then the cop should have directed him on exactly what to do in a calm manner so he could exit safely.
So, Beekeeper, here's a question for you. After reviewing the footage, and yes I'm asking you to be an armchair QB, do you honestly believe the kid was going for his gun in order to shoot a cop?
Stop making excuses for this idiot. He did 100% EVERYTHING wrong and put the cops on edge from the very second he was approached. STUPID games you play wins you STUPID PRIZES. He won the ultimate stupid prize.
