Ever wonder why the uh, default cop idle stance, the at ease stance… is each hand up at it’s shoulder, elbows bent, in front of chest?

Because that way they can very, very easily, and casually, bump their chestcam, obsure its view, muffle the sound.

“In all forms of strategy, it is necessary to maintain the combat stance in everyday life and to make your everyday stance your combat stance.”

• Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings.
