If you want to know how really hard that is to do, try this. I've gone through it over ten times, and I still suck.

That's cool!
515 on my first try. Only shot one good guy. (Does it bother you that you're supposed to shoot everyone with a gun, even though few, if any, of them are pointing it at you? Fun game, but I think there's a bit of the "only bad guys have guns" attitude in it's design.) I was too slow a few times.

Quite possibly his worst decision of his life. If LEOs have guns on me I am keeping my hands up until they cuff me, or specifically tell me otherwise.

I can't figure out what he was trying to accomplish with that move. It certainly escalated the pucker factor for no apparent gain.

It was a very stupid and dangerous move. I believe that he was trying to show the LEOs that it wasn't a concealed gun.
