Cops, what would you do in this situation?

Question

Let's say you were out of your patrol car investigating something suspicious, then I jump in front of you with my gun drawn and pointed at you.

Are you trained to draw and try to shoot me or surrender?

Answer 1

I'm sitting behind the wheel of a 2500+ pound car, with bullet proof glass....You tell me how 4 tire treads on you feels.

Then I'd pull my gun.  Actually, my gun would have already been pulled and laid next to me.

Training says I am to try and talk to you.  If you won't listen to reason, there's the aim to mame, unless I feel threatened.  Then you're a dead man.  And I have more than enough to take you out with.

EDIT--And if by some chance you do shoot me, you'd better get a good supply of soap on a rope because you're going to prison for life and going to be someone's ******.

Answer 2

I'm not a cop, but my guess is you're a dead man.

Answer 3

I would hope that you had a pre-paid funeral plan in place as YOU WOULD BE DEAD!!! Negotiations are only partially effective, and if my butt is on the line, yours is going to be on the grass!!!

Answer 4

I'm not a cop, but I think cops are trained to try to grab the gun

Answer 5

If I am in the car, I will run you over.  If I am on foot I would be able to jump out the way.

Answer 6

Cops are bullet proof and would fly through the air and and melt your gun with their X-ray vision.  Ask a stupid question....

Answer 7

Probably surrender cuz if ur drawn time i did it i d be some where else

Answer 8

I'm not a cop, but if I was on PATROL, I'd already have my gun out and ready, and I'll already have my eye on you, and everyone else. See, it's all about training yourself to NOT be in that situation.

Answer 9

Bang Bang... Probably shoot you in the leg or arm but I wouldn't try to kill you.

Answer 10

I'm not a cop, but I've seen plenty of shows to try and help xD

I think the cop is supposed to reason with the gun man. I'm not sure if that's just on tv, but I think they're supposed to reason with them until the gun man is at a point where the cop knows he won't shoot him and then draw his gun? I'm not really sure, but I hope this helps!!

Answer 11

surrender and tell him/give him what he wants to hear until you see a chance to strike and then attack him,  maybe shoot him if its needed.

Answer 12

They are taught  to shoot to kill.

Answer 13

They would shoot you, but not to kill. They may use deadly force only to prevent escape if the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others. Just because you have a gun, doesn't mean that you pose significant threat of death, it could be a water gun.....

Answer 14

You would die.

EDIT-it wouldn't matter whether you shot me first or multiple times. I would kill you.

Answer 15

No one is that fast and I hope not stupid enought to think they are, surrender would not be an option either if your intention is to shoot me it will not matter if I surrender or not. I could try running quickly to one side while drawing my weapon. hard for most people to hit a moving target, and just hope that I can put one in you if you do hit me.

Answer 16

You will get killed, I might get lucky and live.

Answer 17

I am in the military and we do civil patrols but if a weapon is aimed at me I fire back, I have no time to BS to make you put it down and I am sure I can fire before you do with a pistol or a rifle. As far as I know a city police officer would be trained to preserve life so he may surrender or start a stand off with you but in the federal enforcement its to eliminate the threat

Answer 18

l would surrender

Answer 19

That kind of question has a ton of outcome depending on various circimstances but in a nut shell, anyone that is dumb enough to do that has to be high on drugs and I'll take my chances and shoot ya!!
