I have several friends who are cops. I have hung out with them for years and despite being in some ugly situations (in and outside of cars) not one of them EVER pulled their gun out. (And they always carried --- everywhere) In fact, only on two occasions did they even identify themselves as cops. Flashing a gun takes things to new levels that cops already understand are nothing but serious trouble.
