you are correct, so you agree then that thes Thugs did willfully and Knowingly THREATEN A GROUP OF PRIVATE CITIZENS with a FIREARM for NO REASON. They belong in JAIL for ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, Using a Firearm during the commission of a FELONY. Let them explain their actions to a JURY of Their Peers, just like you or I would have to in the exact same situation.
good grief no. there is no law against a cop unholstering his weapon. None. Zero. Nada.
he may even point his weapon at someone, even if he does not know for certain if that person is armed or not.
these things are judged legally from the viewpoint of the officer, at the time of the incident. not by some college kid with a video camera — not by two dudes on freerepublic.com... even if you use a bunch of capital letters.
some may be offended by the officer unholstering his weapon, but that is not being threatened or assualted... and there is no right to not be offended.
