There are far too many of these cases where off-duty, out of uniform cops pull guns on people just for the purpose of establishing domination in some perceived hostile situation. Or just to have fun scaring the schit out of someone, who knows...

At the same time, there are plenty of dangerous people out there and cops need to be ready to draw and blast someone w/o warning but if they can't reasonably ascertain these situations, they should not be allowed to carry a gun and a badge.
