Nothing should be kept on the back of the belt. Gloves would be one exception maybe.
When I saw the video I could see the guy trying to get up when the officer was on top f him so to me he was clearly resisting. As far as drawing the gun over a taser I dont know. I like to think I could tell right away what I was drawing but in the heat of shit hitting the fan your instincts take over. It was turning into a mob sitaution as well so you're on guard from all directions. I know the majority of the board is "Fuck cops their bullies and corrupt" or whatever. The officer looked to me like he was telling him to lay on the ground and the guy was putting his hands up instead of just getting on the ground like he was being told. Officers are going to be on guard off the bat because there was a fight on the train with multiple subject and it was on NYE so you know they're probably intoxicated. Not to mention there was a large crowd gathered and throwing objects at the officers. Its easy to take a side and say what you want. Not saying what happened was justified or right but know all the facts before you start casting stones
