The significance of the raised hands gesture is the ability to see an open palm. You can see that nothing is inside the open palm.

It’s also not terribly efficient for humans to attempt an empty handed strike against a person with a flat, open palm this way. Boxing teaches you to throw punches the way it does because it’s the most effective way to deliver energy to a target with empty hands.

Thing is that North America police have painted themselves into a corner with how they treat people and how the system works. Nobody interacts with cops by choice, and the people tangentially involved in the criminal world, the most likely ones to give up information, don’t often do so voluntarily anymore.

So, you’re starting to see the impacts of this on their job performance.

Trust for cops is at an all time low so nobody offers up help anymore.
