Re: St. Louis Lawers (What would you have done.

My MMQB is that the only “mistake” that they made was pointing the firearms around like they did. The crowd was chanting and had broken a gate, but that would not yet justify leveling off at the whole crowd.

A couple of things: first, it is just bad optics and tactics. Second, I do not believe that they were justified in pointing weapons at all of creation like they did. Third, keeping a firearm at low ready also has the added benefit of being able to “escalate” a hostile act or a charge. If you are at low ready, and one guy comes out of the crowd towards you, you can come up and aim to show that one guy that you mean business in an attempt to get them to back down. Not so if you are already pointing it at everyone.

The good news, it worked and no shots were fired.
