2. Police pistols are all black, sometimes with a very dark brown grip. The X26 has bright yellow markings on it. It also has a 2-digit LED display.
3. The X26 has a safety on the grip that must be released. The Glock safety is on the trigger.

1. In the heat of the moment I doubt you would think about it that much.
2. The yellow markings are optional and are only used sometimes. When they are not used the Taser is all black. The 2 digit LED display may not have been looked at. These cops don't take a weapon out and give it a full inspection before they use it. Again it's the heat of the moment.
3. That is definitely a legitimate argument.
