Wow. Do you hear what you just said about how to comply with police when they are aiming guns at you? Un-be-leivable!

First, no matter what this guy did in response to conflicting commands, he might have been shot… because they were all too ready to shoot him!

The implicit understanding in your opinion is that you know this to be so. If the cops see you as a perp and have drawn their guns, you are in truly mortal danger, because THEIR trigger fingers are VERY itchy.

Then, it doesn’t matter if you are a law-abiding citizen, and have a CCP. If you are perceived to have a gun, you are a threat to those cops. A Citizen with a gun is perceived as an enemy, not an ally, by the cops.

Do you know why this guy is really dead? Because he was truly a decent individual, who did not see the police as a real threat to himself. He was confused. He honestly tried to comply and did not perceive his danger, because he trusted society and police.

All these things are implicit in what you said. And you are correct in what you said. And that is what is truly scary!
