Tv cops

IS it just me, or at the end of the first video, the LEO has no gun in his holster.

Sure doesn't. Maybe the other police officer took it to eliminate possibility of perp getting ahold of it and killing film crew? Seems like just one big bad idea but... I dunno.

I'm trying to think, the ones I watch: The Closer, Rizzoli and Isles, Longmire, and Justified… I think they're all armed from the get-to.

Funny enough about 12-15 years ago the only time a pistol was put in the drawer at work a deputy shot his finger off trying to clear it. He was a long time law enforcement officer as well. Scared the hell out of us though.

I think about it every time I see someone grab a gun on one of the tv shows out of a drawer.

So over the years, with all the different police shows..... (I [almost] got away with it, the first 48, csi, law and order) and it always shows the cops grab their guns out of their desk drawers before walking out of the office. In my 7 years of law enforcement, I've never seen this done in real life. Where did they get this from?

That may be because your time is in Capital Police. In lots of Agencies, Investigators, lock their weapons in their desk while working in their offices. One of the biggest reason for doing so is the Officer Safety Issue of having a weapon, not in a retention holster, on a Detective, in an Interview Room with a Felony Suspect.

The ones I use to see in my fathers office did it because they didn't feel like wearing it while sitting in the desk chair with the arm rest. They felt it was easier to grab from a half open drawer

I'm sure there are all kinds of reasons I was just citing the most legitimate one.

My new quote. LOLOL

...guns are so evil that they are forged with flames from burning puppies.

Yep. Same as charging a weapon. Rarely in a movie or TV show will you see a weapon presented without racking the action (often multiple times before it's ever fires). Loaded guns are boring.

I point this out to the wife all the tine. My Glocks don't make that noise like a hammer being cocked when I point them at a target. Lolol

I'm not with Capitol police. I'm at Capitol detail. And before this assignment, I was assigned to the LSP HQ complex where I spent a good bit of time with the different investigative agencies located on that complex.

So are you a Trooper?

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

How many non custodial interviews have you seen conducted?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Nope.

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Ok.

I'm still looking for the safety on both of mine...I mean, I keep hearing the "click" of a safety being turned off on Glocks on TV and the movies all of the time...

Or that distinctive revolver hammer being cocked on the Glock.

I keep telling you to shut the hell up and accept the show, or risk being sent to your room.

 

[Cat]

Boy... does THAT sound familiar...

.

Oh heaven forbid they swap firearms totally in the middle of a scene. It's black! It's polymer! Who cares!

 

[CUJOHUNTER]

I gave up trying to assess shows and movies for accurate gun play. As long as Hollywood is still involved in mass entertainment, ya'll are just gonna have to grin and bear the "drama" that's portrayed when guns are presented in any scene. Sad but true.

 

[Booseman]

I was watching Blue Bloods while I was home, guilty , and I was wondering the same thing. The only thing I could think of is comfort and not having a gun in an interview room. I am sure most defectives don't utilize retention type holsters either.

CSI--the lady CSI says a Ruger revolver has a distinctive sound when cocked! From this she is able to tell the gun held at the back of her head was a Ruger.
