Police in the US seem to draw their weapons as a normal part of many interactions with the public, so I guess it's 100%.

But I have absolutely no idea why they do that - it seems bizarre and terrifying to me. I'm certain they don't need to be doing it.

If you're drawing your weapon every day but never actually needing to use it... maybe stop drawing it?
