Are police ever comfortable with talking with someone who has their hands in their pockets?

    I am not a police but I would not be comfortable with someone doing that.

    I would tell the person to remove hands from pockets just like they do on Blue Bloods and if he/she refuses, then I taze their testicles.

    Or ta tas.

  • Well the problem with officers telling the person to remove their hands from their pockets is that they can use that as as opportunity to also take out whatever they have in their pockets, which could well be a switchblade or a pistol or revolve. Kinda defeats the purpose of the officer telling the person to take their hands out of their pockets, right?

    I wouldn't be comfortable if someone had their hands in my pockets when they were talking to me either.

    Comfortable enough to shoot you first, ask questions later.

  • And just how do they expect you to feel casual and relaxed as can be if you can’t put your hands in your pockets?

  • I've never found that to be the case.

  • The police just don’t trust anyone who isn’t one of them, do they?

    If you have seer seen an episode of Live PD you already know they want to see your hands at all times. This post was edited by tom jackson at March 27, 2018 3:04 PM MDT

  • The thing is, if they want to see your hands at all times, then what’s to stop them with being uncomfortable with you crossing your arms or putting your hands on your hips?

    Hands on hips or crossed arms are body language they prefer to discourage.

    Many people carry weapons and it keeps them safer if they can see the hands are empty.
