    Gregory’s second comment is correct. When you panic, you default to your training. It’s the whole reason you train in the first place. This dude short-circuited and ended up on the default “draw gun and yell get on the ground” loop.

      Thats the least problematic comment in the thread, yeah, but thats still horrific. That American police are trained to default to pulling out their weapon is an insane fucking thing

        Oh, sorry, I meant that it was the only correct comment. The rest are insane and not worth engaging with. That’s my fault for poor wording.
