Sounded almost like "Roid Rage" from the LEO. And yes, it was almost all on video. The man was trying to comply with the officer's requests and his holster accidentally showed. The only debate should be required notification of carry, but the reaction was in excess. After having asked the man to place his hands on the van, no need existed for the comment about shooting the man in the back and the use of an expletive in the process -- very unprofessional.
Something else is attached to this story that we are not being told for the officer to act like that. Perhaps a personal conflict between the two men's families or something like that had been going on. The LEOs with whom I attend church would never have treated that man that way even when placing him under control.
Was this resolved in court and what was the outcome?

Are you being serious??? If a cop is having a “family feud” with another person, then its ok for they cop to use foul and threatening language? If this was a premeditated action on the part of the cop due a family feud, then that cop needs to spend a few years in prison for terrorizing this citizen.
But, in reality, there was no feud. This was just another out of control cop with a potentially deadly “Us vs Them” mentality and he has no business carrying a gun for the government.
It does look like a classic “’Roid Rage” incident.
The ‘Rest of the story’ is the Prosecutor threw out all charges.
