It doesn't mean it was being said every dumbass deserves to get shot. Just any dipshit too dumb to not realize trying to wrestle a gun away from a cop is stupid.Which I agree, IF the cop didn't just shoot in cold blood and shot a guy who was actively trying to get his gun away? Who cares? I don't, why should you? The cop did his job if that is the case. Again, not saying that is the case, but if it is? This is a non-story. Dipshit drunk plays a stupid game and gets a stupid prize. What would you feel there is left to say, if that was indeed the case?
Look, I'm the one that's saying we should look at the evidence and make a decision, the guy you are supporting (Henry Pym) is the one saying "why do we care" because he feels the guy was a dumbass. Maybe take it up with him.

By your logic, the police should be allowed to kill anyone that act like assholes, or shoot them, at the very least.

I agree, people should get away with murder as long as they kill dumb*sses. Heck, let's kill even mildly annoying people for the kicks!

Hahaha, but also, coincidentally you actually believe it...
If you fight a cop and get shot, stupid people will cry about it online? Well, the thread is proof. As Riv said, its easy to judge people when you have never lived that life.
So anyways does anyone care to explain how, if the gun is so hard to get out of the holster, a cop can get one out if he needs to use his gun quickly?
I guess it's just one of those things the movies don't get right. Or the tv cop shows. Nobody is ever pulling pins out of something before getting their gun, they just whip those suckers out quickly as if it would be valuable for a police officer to be able to take out his gun at a moments notice.
Silly fairy tales.

A holster secures the gun, as well as being a gun holder.
Its less "pins" and more like flaps of leather.
If you are taking tv shows and movies as your sources, then you'd be sadly mistaken.
I thought i was done with this subject but, J, i have to ask, do you have ANY experience with firearms/holsters?
Because it seems you arbitrarily found someone guilty because someone ELSE said something is "impossible".
That sheriff might be a fan of that type holster. Simple as that. Someone else can just as easily claim that holster couldnt keep a 3 year old from the gun inside.
Not wanting to bust your chops all Pym style, man, but i cant see you as the type to go off of that little.
Originally posted by riv6672I guess we will have to wait and see what the evidence suggests. But the main point he is making is that police holsters do have some sort of safety features that are supposed to make it difficult for them to be harder to remove during a struggle. Like leather straps and other devices. A quick google search found that this is a correct statement.
