The officer clearly over reacted to the situation, and an inexperienced CCW holder, carrying a gun on a deserted road, at night made it even worse. People have to understand that LE guys put their life on the line every day and it is much more dangerous and stressful at night.

Both of them need more training in their respective roles...that's fairly obvious.

There is no excuse for this officer’s behavior, he should not only lose his job but he should be brought up on charges for threatening to kill a citizen. I’m sure if us peasant did the same thing, we’d be in jail.

Go to there facebook page and let the Canton PD have a piece of your mind, I did.

I spent about a third of my deployment to Iraq doing night-shift; the police get ZERO sympathy from me on that argument.

How so? And what separates an "inexperienced" CCW holder from an "Experienced" one under these circumstances with an enraged LEO telling everyone to shut up?

I'm an "experienced" permit holder and the last thing I would want to do under the same circumstances when told to shut up at the beginning is intrude into the LEO's rant........

And here's another question that hasn't been asked: why didn't the enraged LEO approach the driver of the vehicle upon arrival of the police vehicle? He never even attempted to make contact with the driver until almost 10 minutes into the video.....There was no reason given for the alleged stop and no reason given for the possibly illegal search of the back seat........In fact, in the end, the enraged LEO yelled at the female to get out of there before he puts knots on her head..........
