You're not supposed to pull your weapon, unless you're going to use it.

Yea cops should never pull their weapons in this case. Who came up with that stupid mantra anyway? Weapons themselves serve as a deterrent which is why the mere threat of use is usually good enough. If they come back to you, blast them into next week.

Guy shouldn’t have killed that dude IMO.

Yes, true you should only draw your weapon if you have cause to use it, but things can change between when you start to draw your weapon and when it's time to pull the trigger.

If the threat goes away when they see you start to draw your weapon, there's no need to use it. Drawing your weapon doesn't obligate you to use.

The real rule is don't draw your weapon unless you have cause and are fully prepared to use it.
