The difference in my situation is that the druggie stopped and then back off at my commands.
The cop stated that the criminal was in his face. That is way too close and then to add to his situation, the cop fell. This cop is very lucky that the criminal didn’t grab the his gun and shoot him with it before backup arrived.
What was your situation? You call him a druggie, and nothing seems to have happened.
Was he some homeless guy that made you uncomfortable?
Did you have to tell the cops that you had held him at gunpoint? Did they arrest him for a crime against you?
