throwdown
An unregistered firearm carried by policemen to "drop" at the scene where a pursued suspect has been shot; used to justify shooting/killing a possibly unarmed suspect.
Witnesses found a pistol lying on the ground near the fleeing criminal's body, but nobody except the pursuing policeman knew it was a only drop gun, not the criminal's weapon.
