Myself at his age had a cop make a motion to shoot me. I had been pulled over for a completely frivolous reason (claimed my truck matched description of one that was reported stolen). Asked me where I was going and I said to play racquetball and I reached for a racquet handle sticking up from the back seat
The officer immediately put his hand on his gun and yelled for me to put my hands on the wheel. I did without thinking. I think I was about 17-18 years old, I remember because it was the truck my dad bought me for my first vehicle
Had I ignored the command, I might have been dead. You. Listen. To. Police. And almost always, you will live. I knew this as a kid, and if I ever had a kid I’ll make damned sure they understand it too. Whether they choose to follow, I can’t control
