Doublepost: If you were a cop and you told someone to "get out and put your hands up" and when they get out all awkward and the dude is holding something black like this, you'd think it would be a gun too |

If you go to a situation as a cop expecting everything to be okay and nothing will happen, then you are trained wrong. If you are a cop and you go into a situation knowing that it can go bad very fast and you have to be prepared, then you're trained correctly. As a cop, you have to be ready and be able to think on your feet and take action against things that look deadly or suspicious, especially when it seems like the guy is legitimately holding a gun. It can be this fast: *pulls a guy over, the guy gets out and is holding something thats black in a suspicious way that looks like a gun and got out very awkwardly* "gotta follow pro-" *the cop is shot* |
