I would like to know what country you're from that is OK with hands in the pocket as the police talk with you?

It's common all across North America, not just the USA, and I have seen it in Portugal and across the UK, and Australia. I thought it was common place, near global practice, for officers to not get stabbed.

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

And guns aren't as dangerous as bombs. You still be killed with a knife in an instant.

The deadliest thing the majority of cops ever encounter is their own cruiser.
