I know where you're going, but for our uninformed friend...
An officer of the law, in performance of his duties cannot be charged with assault for pointing his duty weapon at an individual he believes is a threat to his or another's safety.
If a citizen unholsters a gun in the presence of an officer, he'll be lucky if he doesn't get shot. THAT would not be pretty.
And yes, there is a double standard because generally, police officers don't go around pointing their guns at people for no reason.
Lol I can argue with that. Ever been to California? Should be fair for all, all the same consequences.
