From the comments on that article:

This is a fake image created by iFunny, more specifically from lFunny_News.

The man on the left is actually a Florida man who was arrested for a fight outside a 7-Eleven that left another man brain-dead

Aw man, that's a shame. Thank you for the correction.

Just don't go for a cop's gun even if you try to make it a joke. Don't let that intrusive thought win. It is percieved as a lethal threat to the officer and they will react accordingly.

We all know their service weapons are actually pez dispensers with the best flavors

Okay sure, Fed. This is what they want you to think

But also there’s a trick to how police holsters work that makes it difficult to remove the gun. An untrained amateur going for the gun is likely to mess up and wind up pulling the gun unsuccessfully without actually removing it from the holster, alerting the cop.

And cops are trained techniques to fight someone going for their gun too and as I said, since it is considered a lethal threat, they're not going to hold back. The moment they feel someone tugging at their gun they're not going to wait and see if it was just a joke or if someone is really trying to kill them with their own gun.

Stupidity, bring your own, or you'll die with 100% blame on yourself
