The explanation of what happened to whom is not clear, because the writer keeps using ‘he’ instead of using the name of who’s being discussed. I have a pretty fair idea what transpired. Maybe it was Roid-Rage.
There is no way that action was appropriate for the officer.
He better be thankful this 72 y/o man is not the type who keeps a loaded pistol in the nightstand, and likes to target practice after dinner, while sipping a little Old Grandad Kentucky Bourbon.
At least I think that's what happened. 🤣
