    He’s police, not military. He’s supposed to serve the public, not treat everyone as though they are armed.

    Mm thanks officer, tasty boot! Please aim at my face while I get my registration and insurance information

      I agree with you, placing the hand on top of the weapon (not grabbing the handle) is still a standard procedure in potentially dangerous situation. Fot example the police in Germany is trained to do this too.
