RE: It is high anxiety

uh huh ... there are uniform practices observed by all LEO's ...

your service weapon is always carried on your strong side for two reasons

the instinctual use of your right or left depending on your 'handedness' because micro-seconds count deploying lethal force, along with greater strength defending the weapon when holstered ... Taser are always carried on the opposite side because of this

a veteran LEO can never confuse the two just because of this, not to mention shape, weight, and even in poor light the color

this applies even to the vast majority of rookies

so your point about the right people earns much more weight by circumstances ... when it's ingrained that your work environment is a battlefield instead of a community, mistakes common to battlefields are more likely ... troops are quite often killed by 'friendly fire', cops are as well, but when those they 'serve and protect' are seen as the enemy ... ?

so further to your point even 'citizens' get caught in the middle, or background line of fire as the case may be
