Lattimore is lucky the cops didn’t shoot him.
It looks like they recognized him as an NFL player and that might have saved his life.
In video of the stop, you can see officers swarmed the car immediately … and confronted Lattimore right away.
Lattimore revealed he DID have a gun on his person … and told cops it was located in the groin area of his jeans.
“You’re gonna shoot your dick off,” one officer said as he removed the firearm from Lattimore’s pants.
As cops were conducting searches around the car, one of the officers apparently realized Lattimore was an NFL player … and said out loud, “You play for the Saints?!”
The cop then scolded the 24-year-old for putting himself in the position … explaining, “It’s not like you’re a, you know, f***ing chump out there, bro!”
Imagine that good advice from the cops.
