The freeze response probably should’ve come before the gun came out.
As well, it’s not some regular Joe-schmoe. It’s (supposed to be) a trained professional who is (supposed to be) entrusted with a gun whose purpose is (supposed to be) to serve and protect the people. A trained professional is supposed to know what to do in a shocking situation beyond instinct. That’s (supposed to be) the whole point of training them.
So sure, random Lemmy user might react the same way (though probably without drawing a gun). A police officer shouldn’t.
That’s why the gun came out. His brain locked up and his training kicked in. Unfortunately he has no training about what to do in this type of scenario because it’s completely unexpected.
Maybe the training shouldn’t be, “draw your gun and then figure out what’s going on”
Good point, how about you go guard the Israeli embassy right now.
