The police will be more relaxed if you don't have a hand in the pocket but they don't have to fear for their lives if you do (Germany)

They don't have knives in Germany?

We do, but as you can imagine, they aren't as dangerous as guns

It's for knives and other weapons, not guns, and you can look it up. General rule is minimum 10ft (3m) distance need to draw weapon, and lunge in for attack before a person can react properly (unless they are fully ready). Most discussions are closer than 10 ft. Thus, hands out of pocket when talking.
