In all fairness, it’s definitely some “operator” shit. But yes, he looks absolutely ridiculous here. He’s got a clear line of fire! It almost certainly made him less threatening to the other guy.
Regardless, it’s still true that soldiers will sometimes tilt their pistols in close quarters combat, and it’s a common rest position in live fire situations (which I think the cop is trying to emulate here if I’m being charitable 🤔).
Often the tilting in close quarters of pistols is due to body armour plates being so big, and in cqb going straight on can be advantageous for aiming automatically without effort. But you present a bigger target
