Citizen seems to notice a police officer driving around and around his neighborhood while he is working on his boat in his driveway.
Police officer doesn't like being filmed by someone in his own yard and decides to stop and pull gun on him.
I’m just curious what this homeowner has had trouble with the police for the last 15 months.
Rohnert Park...there probably are a lot of 3 percenter types in the area... I’m guessing that’s why he asked him about “constitutionalist.”
This idiot not only lost his job, but they should put him in a rubber room. This guy is flat out dangerous.
“Just lost his job.”
Supposition or fact? (I agree he should BTW.) If fact, do you have a linky? Would be nice to read.
Thanks, FRiend!
Seems to have a screw loose
I honestly never thought I would see the day when believing in the U.S. constitution would be used as a pejorative.
What the hell?
As a former Law Enforcement Officer I gotta ask is this cop a nut case? First why exactly did he stop where he did in the manner he did. Never once stated to the citizen why he was there and certainly no valid reasoning why he had his gun out. Hand in the pocket(?) Really? Then after some asinine conversation just up and leaves? What sorta report is he going to write up on that? He had his gun drawn. If our pistol cleared the holster we had better had a good reason and file a clearly written and understandable report of who, what, when, where, why............
I’m sick of these thugs the police are hiring and training. Really? A Constitutionalist?? Shouldn’t the cop be one too?
Rohnert Park is in Sonoma, not Marin county.

Total supposition, I should have been more clear.
That cop is a weird blend of calm and NUTS.
Add a gun and the insect is a walking lawsuit factory.
What would he do to kids selling lemonaide..?
PERFECT example of someone who shouldnt be a cop.
The videographer is lucky he wasn't black, hispanic AND in the hood.
I see money in this guys pocket if this video gets spread around and the networks pick it up.
He didn't hurt anybody.
I thouht the same. Sent it to a real constitionalist to critique.
OK this guy may have been just a whiner...or actually harassed... but objectively, if this guy was the local crazy or chronic complainer, the cop spent enough time on the radio and driving/sitting around that you would expect he’d wait for another car if he was dealing with the local crank—even though he does say “I don’t know who you are”
If this citizen or one of his friends lurks here, please contact me. I have a CA licensed lawyer buddy — big 2nd Amendment and Constitutionalist guy — who would LOVE to make the citizen (and OK, himself) a BOATLOAD of money here...
Matt Dillon would have shot the camera out of that homeowner’s hand.
BTW, I lost all my guns, a double barreled shotgun and a flintlock pistol, when my canoe capsized.
Actually, he's the perfect person for that label. We are talking law enforcement, right?
I didn’t like the officer asking him if he was a constitutionalist. Poor choice of words.
However, the cop did nothing wrong. HE did not pull his gun “on” the guy. He took it out and kept it at his side pointing downward.
The guy making the video was a total idiot for not taking his hand out of his pocket. The officer doesn’t know whether he is armed or not and the guy sounded a bit irrational. If the cop had shot him, it would have been his own fault.
Unless there was probable cause, why is this not terroristic threatening? Sure would be if you did it I think?
