    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?

      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.

      Edit: I just clicked the link. Damn, man. Two people’s lives destroyed in an instant. How hard does this eyebrow dude hit? Is he a professional boxer or something?

        It’s easier than you think. Most often it’s when they fall and hit their head on the ground after being knocked out.

          Some drunk dude wanted to fight me at a nightclub once so I went outside to smoke a cigarette and give him some space. He followed me outside and swung on me. I just dodged his drunk-ass hook, and he spun himself all the way around, lost his balance, and fell. When he fell his head hit a brick planter, and the sound it made was disturbing. I do not think he was okay. But I didn’t stick around to find out. I didn’t even touch him, so I just went back inside. I saw an ambulance out there some time later, and I’m assuming it was for Mr. Drunk boxer guy. He kicked his own ass.

      Darnold told deputies that he walked into the convenience store and bought cigarettes. When he walked out, Aryafar asked him for a “smoke.” Darnold offered him a cigarette, but Aryafar allegedly wanted weed.

      When he said he didn’t have any to sell, the two said expletives to one another and moved on.
      Moments later, Amir allegedly walked toward the car Dardnold was in. He got out of the vehicle, punched Aryafar once, which knocked him down, and then got back in the car with his girlfriend and drove off.

      That story of Dar(d)nold and Ayafar has somehow more typos than the shitpost. At least it isn’t AI.

    What type of holsters are these jokers using? Any normal cop holster should have a 2 or 3 distinct hand motions to unholster their gun. That means pushing it down and twisting or something to that effect. You shouldn’t be able to just lift a cops gun out of his holster, for good reason.

    Wow, this is such a biased take ughhh, let me rewrite this in proper newspeak.

    “Last saturday an officers gun ejected from their holster after making contact with a dino toy grabber, the man holding the dino toy grabber retracted their arm from the situation and the firearm was taken along with the toy grabber. The man holding the dino toy testified in court the other day that he felt he had no other choice but to retract the dino grabber once the situation escalated from a playful dino bite to a potential non-armed dino bite attack and the firearm was unfortunately stuck in the jaws of the toy dino grabber which caused it to also be retracted. The police officer was not questioned for comment and had $500 dollars in their wallet at the time which was confiscated by local anarchists who believed the money was most certainly involved in some kind of illegal crimes at some point (a practice that surely would not be legal in a civilized society).”

    man those “class 3” or whatever the fuck called retention holders seem to be working really well…

    I wonder if the police know how to use them lmao.
