Out of curiosity, after the officer turned his attention away from you, did he reholster?

Yes.....shoulder rig.

No problem.

I did say draw on him. I would have ordered him to the ground and waited. If forced to shoot, I would have preferred the 5' I was from him instead of the 30 yards from my truck ( where I retreated). A small crowd had gathered, so I had plenty of witnesses. As I had no weapon, I went back to my truck and prepared to run him over if need be.

Apparently, this was a spat between a man and his mistress ( he was accusing her of cheating ). I also failed to report he rammed her car with his)

Some 30 plus years ago,I was presented with an I testing delima that today would have turned out differently. I was working as a job super. When in a strip center I was working at I observed a man ranting and raving at a woman who had locked herself in her car. He would pace back and forth cussing at her and occasionally stop to beat on the roof of the car. I walked over to try and calm him down and make sure she was OK. I had radioed the office to call 911( we were not yet issued cell phones). When I approached the man yelled he was a Police Detective ( turne out he was) and pulled out his weapon. He had showed me no badge or credentials. Uniformed Officers finally showed and hauled him off. He was eventually released from the force due to this incident and other crimes ( he irritated her off and she spilled the beans). Now today I would be carrying and when he tuned his back (as he did) I would have drawn on him .
