OK so are you saying that if he was in uniform pulling out his gun would have been fine?

So if I am understanding you correctly pulling out the firearm is ok as long as he was easily identifiable?

Or just to clarify, is pulling out the firearm a no-no under any circumstance?

As for the standoff, why wouldn't we go an further? should the cops just pack up and leave then? Maybe I didn't understand your response. Can you explain? What should the cops do?

And YES he should have presented his id first and foremost. That would have been much better. I am not arguing that a "person" jumping out of a car and pulling out a gun is acceptable. What about ID and gun?
