"A lot of folks here are jumping to conclusions, automatically assuming the cop was at fault, but he’s not in custody is he?"

Why would he be??? You think one of his buddies is going to slap the cuffs on???? Please. Now if it was Joe Sixpack, he'd be lucky to still be alive after being arrested immediately and his a$$ would still be sitting in jail while they "investigate" the matter. Double standards tend to piss people off.

Has it occurred to you that this guy might have been acting erratically???? And that she might have felt scared for her life and the life of her 8-year old???? And that some guy in jeans and a t-shirt waving a gun might not be immediately recognizable as a cop???? Is boot polish flavored like licorice??? Just wondering.

“You think one of his buddies is going to slap the cuffs on????”

Yes, I believe exactly that. I also believe that cops are held to a HIGHER standard than civilians are, and have fewer rights during an investigation.

I only believe that because it’s true.

“Has it occurred to you that this guy might have been acting erratically????”

This possibility has occurred to me, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it, whatsoever. Have you?

“And that she might have felt scared for her life and the life of her 8-year old????”

Is that what actually happened, or is that just a product of your fertile imagination?

“And that some guy in jeans and a t-shirt waving a gun might not be immediately recognizable as a cop????”

Again: Is that what actually happened, or is that just a product of your fertile imagination?

“Is boot polish flavored like licorice??? Just wondering.”

Spoken like a true non-veteran. I have tasted boot polish many times, while spit-polishing my boondockers or class-A’s before an inspection. Ever served your country, or do you prefer to just sit back and criticize those who defend the safety and freedom of people like you? And no, boot polish doesn’t taste at all like licorice. It tastes kind of like a mix of rubber and vaseline.

Not that you’ll ever know.
