I'm no fan of the US police but unfortunately some people reach for a gun pretending to get their papers. So it kinda makes sense to at least be ready for the worst.

I agree with you, placing the hand on top of the weapon (not grabbing the handle) is still a standard procedure in potentially dangerous situation. Fot example the police in Germany is trained to do this too.
