..let's give the police another reason to shoot people. Don't get me wrong; I'm not anti-police but if YOU saw someone pulling this out in front of you, what would be YOUR first thoughts/reaction? Really bad design/idea.
Cops are supposed to be trained to descelate a situation and use all non lethal methods of subduing first before shooting to kill. Even when fired upon. Cops are supposed to be trained to tell the attacker to drop the weapon and surrender or they will return fire. "Supposed to" being the key phrase

They're also trained to keep themselves safe. Sometimes there isn't time to deescalate... I took this class from my local pd and it was basically a summary of all the stuff they have to be mindful of and some of their using force training. It was crazy. Some of the videos they showed still haunt me.
Admittedly though, I'd probably also do that so I shouldn't be complaining.
