As close as they are, its tactically more sound to close distance and try to position the hand to block the weapon. If he reached for his own weapon, the other guy will 100% get his shot off first and the cop knows that. The cop is also physically larger than the gunman, so he is doing the right thing here in this picture.

Anyone posting this is just fishing for attention from the race baiters and adding to the cacophony of bullshit that is driving people psychosis.
