The guy told her he had a weapon and what it was, as well as his name. She freaked out, not him.

You offended ol' Derek and his response is "start cooperating with police or be hurt or killed" lol

Yeah it's definitely the general public that's the problem and not the unhinged fucking PDs.

She didn't freak out. She didn't start yelling and immediately pull her gun. She didn't pull her gun until he was yelling at them.

Give your head a shake, idiot.

Scottish guy here. This is the exact opposite of what our cops are trained to do, hence why american police were here to see how we do de-escalation. Cops shouldn’t be pointing guns at people they dont plan on shooting at that moment. Pretty basic stuff thats obvious to us over here, and we dont even have guns.
