"Waiting for the boot lickers to show up and defend this ruling."
Well, I'm not a boot licker, but I am a CCW holder (and carry all the time).
There are no "right" people in this situation. The cop absolutely was a 'roid-rager completely out of control. But the CCW holder was also in the middle of obviously illegal activity (I have my own opinions about whether soliciting for prostitution should be illegal, but it is regardless, and as a CCW holder he should not have been engaged in such business).
The cop should have been let go, as his temperament and comportment is absolutely anti-social and I'm sure this isn't the first time he's berated suspects in such a frightening way. But the CCW holder should absolutely lose his permit as well. In my opinion, while interesting, this isn't a very good example of an advocacy incident for CCW.
I don’t know if its boot licking but,
When I was a kid in high school, a cop chewed me out like
this guy for having beer in my car. It was just as brutal
and harsh. While I sat in the car in cuffs he took the beer
out and poured it all out. Then he let me go with a threat
of getting my a$$ kicked.
I still see him some times when
I go vote. And we have a laugh about it.
He probably saved my life.
