Thanks to this country's gun culture, the police have to assume that everybody is armed. So, drop anything in your hands. It might be mistaken for a gun. Put your hands up and hope that's enough.

Thanks to this country's policies and practices with police (killing a citizen is justified pretty much on any basis of fear a police officer an articulate, whether or not his life is realistically in danger), drop anything in your hands. It might be mistaken for a gun. Put your hands up and hope that's enough.

Pretty sad, that the word HOPE is so important with modern day police interactions.
>>> hope that's enough
It's slowly changing, thanks to hard work, and 'assists' from social media and camera phones. Time for bodycams. Always on. We're paying you to carry a gun and order folks around? Always on.
Bless those involved with this event.
