For real?

How would the cops have known that this guy wasn't armed? Just by looking at his hands and seeing there was no gun there? Is that really how easy people think it is? Would it still be super clear that the guy was unarmed if he put his hand in his pocket and lunged at one of the officers? I mean, you still haven't seen a gun at that point either.

The reality is that anyone can be armed at any time, and cops have to deal with this every day. Again, this is why being an idiot around them is a really bad idea.
