Even the cops are going 'gangsta'!

Been watching a lot of COPS on Spike lately , and I've noticed more than a few doing the 'gangsta' thing of holding their pistols horizontally , with 2 hands even. Last nite 2 cops on the same scene were doing it!

.....with two hands?....lol.

I see two other possible reasons. 1) The director or cameraman told them to do it because it 'looks cool' on film; or, 2) they're trying to use the center axis relock stance.

If 2 they're doing it wrong lol not that I'm a fan. Though I kind of do similar. Hard to explain and not gangster.

If 1 they shouldn't be taking direction from a show when the guns come out or while policing period

Yep , and they were holding high and to the right too. Well out of the line of sight. Didn't notice if their pistols had lasers.

3) That's the way they learned when they were back on the block.

Why the heck are they drawing their guns on people all the time anyway? That's the bigger question. If they are doing that for the camera they should be fired and prosecuted for assault.
