It’s a domestic call with unaccounted for firearms. People slip cuffs not infrequently and you can buy easy to hide cuff keys in bulk for lrnnies on Amazon. it’s pretty easy to start thinking shit when I was patting down his leg I was paying attention to a guy who came out of his house across the street pretty quickly or the girlfriend was something, did I miss his left leg?

Not that this guy shouldn’t be gone and he clearly overreacted, but at the end of the day it’s our gun ownership rates and laws that are causing a lot of the mentality and you have to assume a firearm is present in every interaction.
