You'd have to ask the driver, the Airman was the passenger, just "along for the ride" so to speak.
Thinking doubtless "I did nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear." Bzzzzzzt!
yeah, it looked like he was on the passenger side. i wonder where the driver was. did he flee? did the cop have a partner? i have lots of questions. i will say this: i am amazed this type of thing does not happen more often. it is a testament to LEO training and makes this incident all the more troubling. thankfully, it is the exception, not the rule.
