If this dude figured out how to lift a full size duty weapon out of a retention holster using nothing but a plastic dino-grabber then he deserves to keep those guns.
That's the only reason, I think, that he was able to "repeatedly" do it instead of being arrested after the first time. Cop was so impressed that he managed it, he let him off with a warning and a handshake. Once is cool. Twice is funny. Three times is getting annoying. Fourth time is kind of embarrassing to the officers at this point. And fifth time is too far.
Isn't the first time kind of embarrassing for them? If not, shouldn't it be?
Sixth time is getting shot .
Non-white US citizen - "You all are getting a sixth time?"
Any people at this point also dogs too maybe some other creatures humans love too if they got time .
They’ve got time, it’s more a question of how many bullets they have left.
I doubt these were retention holsters. It wouldn't surprise me if he was doing it specifically to draw attention to how many cops are walking around with non-approved holsters.
It turns out that the explanation is even simpler. It simply never happened.
