One thing I learned from the great Mas Ayoob, was "dress to the color of your weapon". Basically don't wear a white shirt with a black gun or a bright stainless gun with a dark shirt etc. My suit jackets have the single cut in the back as well as opposed to the two cut flap that many have.

Don't forget to touch off a round when you go to pick it up, because only the police should have guns…

TL,DR; Don't say jack squat to the arresting officers.

Sounds like someone 1.5x'ed it for the upload to YouTube. That, or we need to get this guy and Ben Shapiro in a room together…who knows? Maybe it'll cause a linguistic black hole or something.

LOL - I think that exact same thing every time I watch it, as well.
