Man taunts Police Officer, Gets Shot

Oh its correct. But removal? Not impossible.
Using that statement as the basis to come here and say "hey look at what this cop did he's awful"?
Not cool.

Thats the reason WHY the pins are there in the first place, so other people can't wrestle the guns out of the holster on a moments notice.

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'm just saying don't you think what you are saying makes no sense? I'm not saying it isn't true, but it just seems silly. Even if, as others have said, it's not impossible to remove..but not necessarily easy to remove it still makes no sense to me. A police officer needs to be able to get his weapon out at a moments notice if he needs it.

So that just seems like a huge flaw that could potentially cause a lot of situations where a cop is killed as a result because he can't pull his gun fast enough.

But it makes sense to try and make it harder for the firearm to come out in a struggle to help prevent officers from being shot by their own weapon.

Okay so it protects him from accidentally shooting himself, but opens him up to being shot from someone else because he can't pull out his gun quick enough.

They also try to make it easier for the officer to remove the gun naturally but make it harder for anyone else to do.

But let's also be honest the number of times an officer is going to be faced with a Western Quickdraw gunfight is going to be minimal. It is much more likely they will already have the gun out if they think they are in a dangerous environment. Or they will be in a situation where that extra millisecond of time delay won't matter. I mean if someone already has their gun drawn on you before you have a chance to draw your gun you're in a bad situation to begin with.

Even still they are trying to get a holster that performs well in all scenarios by allowing quick release only for the officer using the holster but difficult for anyone else to do so.

It just seems like something that could potentially cause the cops death, even if it is rare for there to be instances where you need to draw your gun instantly.

Especially the cops who work in areas with heavy gang activity.

No I understand what you are saying, but I think you can see there is still a potential flaw right that could, in a rare situation, get a cop killed.

It does add a weird angle to the story if the person was already cuffed and in the back seat. It would seem hard for the person to actually get the gun in those circumstances. It definitely makes it a case worth investigating. It also shows another reason why officers should wear body cams. It would clear this entire mess up quickly.

Also it would depend on how they are cuffed. If their hands are behind their back then if the guy got the gun out of the holster he is some kind of magician.

So now why is Dr. Stephen Strange deciding to drunkenly attack cops?

Whats more convincing that the Officer did it is that the guy didn't change the tone of his voice and was shot mid-sentence, in the middle of pronouncing a word, his voice never raised, or get louder, and there was no sounds of a struggle, or groaning, or nothing.

If I'm wrong, you all can call me out on it, hell, I'll even ask Ush to close the thread, but as of now, I'm 99.9% sure police corruption is the cause.

Okay I was joking at that point...yeah if he's cuffed behind his back the whole "took my gun out of my holster" thing sounds fishy, whether you need pins or not to keep it in. I could maybe see if your hands are in front of you..but behind?

This is just another d-bag cop too stupid to come up with a more convincing excuse. Some men can't handle being taunted, put a gun in that hand and things get messy.

I notice my post wasnt addressed. Tells me what i needed to know.
I'm out.

Who knows, maybe it was a complete accident, and we're both wrong.

Honestly though, in recent times, the police aren't trustworthy of SHIT, I wouldn't trust today's officers as far as I can throw them, and I don't think I'm the only one, considering the huge overabundance of police brutality threads and news reports.

More and more people in the us are automatically slanted against the cops. Tell me why almost all of the "racist" cop shootings are ultimately proven in favor of the cops, and why do people still keep this slant? I'm very wary of many police but this automatic assumption is bs
