Whatever happened to DROP IT, HANDS UP and the like?
Would that put the officer at risk?
Of course, but it is part of the job, if you don't like it get a different job.
If I was to shoot everybody that walks into the range holding a firearm with the action closed we would run out of customers.
I want to work that job, so I live with it and ask them to open the action and show their firearm safe.
The day I am no longer willing to put up with it, there's plenty of hamburgers that need flipping out there.


The officer is on PAID REASSIGNMENT???
Is somebody going to name a street after the good guy that was shot?
Would I be a better cop than that? Probably not, that's why I am not one.

It could have been me.
It could have been my wife.
It could have been you or your wife...
I can't imagine I would have put the gun down before making sure there were no other intruders.

And don't come at me with the cop bashing bullshit...
