A career criminal chose the wrong target while attempting to carjack a person in New York. That person was an off-duty NYPD who was just leaving work and heading home. In NYC, it’s rare for a citizen to carry and it’s part of why crime is so rampant, because 99% of their targets will be unable to fight back.
The reason I am sharing this particular story is because we see a great example of what to do when responding police are arriving to the scene. This off-duty placed his gun on the ground and put both of his hands up so that officers knew he wasn’t a threat.
Even better would have been to re-holster, but things move so quickly in these situations that his actions were acceptable.
