"Unarmed man"?

When are people going to get the idea that when several LEO have their guns trained on you and are commanding you to put your hands up, that is the time to put your hands up (Story here).

That is not the time to be explaining, to be nonchalant in your actions and certainly not to make sudden moves that might include reaching for your belt line.  LEO have no intention of being shot if they can help it.

Now let's be honest, this man did not need to be shot.  A well-trained (assumption) officer could have been prepared to move off line if a gun had appeared and taken his shot when he saw it.  LEO should be well-trained and do need to accept that there is some risk inherent in their job.

But folks - now that you see this - if they have their guns trained on you and are giving verbal commands, follow them!
