I legit lol'd at this. But in all seriousness - where I work, every action/decision requires me to articulate why. So if I do draw my gun I have to be able to articulate in a consistent and reasonable manner. If I don't draw my gun, I also have to be able to articulate that. For example, if a man with a rifle is running from me toward a school full of children and I decide to not draw my gun I will absolutely need to be able to articulate that. If an 80 year old in a wheel chair steals a KitKat using no weapons and I draw my gun I better have a good reason. I can't just say I felt threatened I have to articulate it and it needs to be consistent with everyone's body cams and witness statements and the physical evidence itself. I'm more than aware that not every department is like this though...

If that 80 year old's name was Jack Bauer, that would be justified. He can kill you with that KitKat
