If ‘TRAINED’ cops are that easily spooked by a loud sound then they have no business being a cop or allowed to carry a gun. So, if someone is setting off ‘legal’ fireworks, and that startles a cop, the person setting off the fireworks should expect to get shot dead if a cop is anywhere close at hand? Their story thus far about being startled into shooting by a loud sound is just pure bunk!
I say, “The signs should stay!”
