As for the training, if policy is to remove a firearm from someone or some place as a normal function of their job (which it was and still is), then they should be trained on how to do it safely. They’re trained on how to do pat downs; they find things during them. Do they never consider/train how to remove firearms, syringes, knives, drug bags, etc. and do it safely?
Yes, you do it without putting your finger on the freaking trigger, just like every other gun that you handle. And don't point it at people. It's not that complicated. But yes, I'm sure they also trained on removing weapons and other dangerous objects from suspects in scenario training. It's part of our basic academy curriculum.
