Police pull gun on Yankees manager

If you want to know how to survive a police encounter, your best bet is to take notes from New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

During a traffic stop last week in Connecticut, local officers pulled their gun on Cashman, 52, after mistaking him for a car thief.

But during the altercation that followed, nobody wound up being thrown to the ground, shot or even arrested. And the reason why had nothing to do with Cashman's race but everything to do with his calm, cool and collective demeanor.
