But FFS, cops now shoot for reaching toward a waistband where NO gun exists and kill people; you really think if someone rotates toward the cop he is going to check the gun color before shooting?
Most cops NEVER fire their weapon in 30 years of service, dont try to feed me that in a shooting situation they will notice gun color.
