“If the police can’t see your hands, they assume gun and results are the same.”
I have heard instances where going to the door with a gun in hand gets someone shot by police. I have not heard any where someone got shot answering a door because the police couldn’t see their hands. If there’s a knock on my door late at night I’m not opening it anyway. Talk through the door. If they say they’re cops call 911 to confirm then put the gun away.
My standard response when it comes to the police.

It is sickening.
