Which one is the real weapon?
Never shot a gun in your life have you?Who cares? You take it away from them.
Police need to be trained in techniques of dis-arming someone with a weapon.
if you rush a person with a gun - esp. a hand gun - it is difficult for the gunman to get a good aim.
When I was a kid I used to hunt with my dad.Never shot a gun in your life have you?

Never been in law enforcement. But I have talked to a guy who was a body guard for the mob. After doing his time, he now teaches government agencies on dealing with active shooter events. "Run AT a gun, run away from a knife."How long were you a police officer? I did law enforcement for fourteen years and never heard anything as reckless as that.
Some consider suicide to be a sin so but please don’t suggest that others charge at armed individuals in order to disarm them, because that is suicide.
What's quicker? A cop say 10 feet away? Or a armed male pulling a handgun up and out of his waistband?When I was a kid I used to hunt with my dad.
So I have shot .22s, 30-06s, 30-30s and 12 gauge shot guns. I even once borrowed a Japan WW2 army rifle of some metric size that I do not recall.
So yes, I have.

And many marital arts have ways of disarming a weaponized assailant. Those techniques should be commonly taught to LE.
Exactly! Just like Luquan McDonald should not have advanced at a police officer with a weapon; Samuel Dubose should not have dragged that police officer with his car; Marcus Jeter should not have reached for that police officer's weapon; Walter Scott should not have used that weapon...
Without any other information, the only thing that can be accepted is the official police story. Accepting that story does not imply truth, but we live in a world of innocence until proven guilty. Nonetheless, this is the reason why police body cameras are needed. In the cases above cameras and video demonstrated that police officers are human and can lie like anyone else. That may or may not be the case here, which highlights the important of body cameras.
What we can say is that this is an absolute tragedy that a child lost his life, regardless of whether he was pulled a weapon or not.
OK cop is 10 feet away. Guy goes for his gun. the cop lunges. 5 ft gone already. Perp tries to aim. another 2 feet. By the time he gets a good bead on the cop, he is being tackled like a defenseless quarterback and is on the ground. If 4 or 5 cops lunge at him, he has to decide which one to aim at. Even more time lost.What's quicker? A cop say 10 feet away? Or a armed male pulling a handgun up and out of his waistband?
Police yell, stop! Put down the weapon.
Or, STOP! Show me your hands!
And an armed male suspect ignores the order , grabs the gun in their waistband that they've fitted with a laser sight, pulls the gun with the laser sight out of their waist band. Is that compliance? What does that look like to a cop? Who's hoping to question two suspects that fit a description of an armed robbery?
Had this cop been killed by a bullet in a real gun that this male shot, what then? What if that cop had tried to charge an armed suspect , wasn't faster than a bullet, and died. What then?
Oh, no, they should actually teach a far better course than what you describe.Never been in law enforcement. But I have talked to a guy who was a body guard for the mob.

Besides, 9/10 of the people who pull a gun will not shoot it. They are just using it as a trump card. And even if they might shoot a civilian, they would think twice on shooting a cop as it does not go well for them in prison to be a cop killer.
And it would give the perps who can get ahold of the cam footage what your silent signals are so they can read them.They would also allow the police to learn visually from each other and analyze more effectively how to avoid tragedy where possible.
