Cops Staged???

I agree with antibubba. Nobody could write that stuff. What I really find amazing is how often people with tons of illegal narcotics in their vehicles will consent to the search. Stupid stupid stupid.
 
It seems real familiar to me. The episode I remember is where the detectives are arresting a "john". Yeah, right. They need a gun for that. I was a reserve police officer for 15 years and never saw weapons drawn for the stupid BS that is common in the police shows today. Seems like they stick a gun in everyone's face nowadays. I think the idea of keeping your finger off the trigger of your handgun came into vogue with the advent of those wonderful Glocks that go off with startling regularity. I was never taught that way except for shotgun obviously, but I never carried with anything but double action, revolver and semi. When I pulled a gun, I had my finger on the trigger, because it was very possible that I might use it instantaneously. Even with your finger on the trigger, a double action handgun is not going to go off accidentally. Guess I'm old fashioned, but I think that only double action firearms should be used by police. Especially since typical police officer is very unskilled in the use of firearms.

I was taught to keep my finger out of the trigger guard in '84. I'm startled to hear a LEO claim otherwise.
