One of the responsibilities of carrying is de-escalation whenever possible. He chose escalation. Instead of leaving with his gun and his family, he went to jail. He carried a piece to protect his famiy and left his family unprotected.
This guy chose a poor course of action, right or not.

When people ask me about carrying, I urge them to imagine pieces of somebody's skull and brains hitting the wall behind him. Then I say, "If you can get to the point where you're okay (not comfortable, just okay) with that, where you can decide safe, at home, alone that that is something you're prepared to see and be responsible for, then you should think about carrying. If you have a gun, a situation in which you might need it is NOT The time to ponder that question.

Similarly, while I wargame and visualize de-escalating or avoiding confrontations so that I don't have to break leather, I guess we all should also visualize what to do when an LEO breaks bad on us and all we're doing is breaking our diet.

He was illegally arrested and detained for exercising his constitutional rights. You are attempting to shift the blame for the officers lack of professionalism onto their innocent victim. His family was left unprotected because these thugs illegally harassed him.
