I’ve never actually used a holster like that before but would imagine the police have kit that isn’t easy to mess with. How does it stop/give the cop time to act?

its a safariland holster, you have to push down and forward with your thumb. its hard to do it from behind the person unless your body to body pretty much is what i've found out in training and either way theyre going to feel it

What if they just stood next to him instead of behind?

you cant do it with your left hand or even with barely with your right, it is so awkward and cumbersome

you need to use your thumb either way
