They talk about him like he’s some kind of freaky, leftwing exhibitionist.
It is pretty bad when Police officers don’t know the law. His department should be ashamed of him.
Scary.
"I ask about his son. “I’ve tried to tell my son that this isn’t normal; that police officers don’t walk around doing this. He’s developed an unrealistic fear of police officers. We were bowling yesterday and he freaked out when a police officer walked in. He’s traumatized by the incident — seeing a gun pulled on his dad."
Hey, maybe this kid won't flinch when they shoot his dog? I hope the father knows well enough to NOT seek "professional" councilling for his son.
Didn’t this cop go through any training? Back in the day I spent 27 weeks in training for my job as a police officer, much of it learning the law ... what I could and couldn’t do with regard to the constitution and the general laws of the land.
Sounds like this officer was hired off the street, given a badge and gun and told ... go get the bad guys.
Stupid cops like these are going to want the good guys on their side when TSHTF.
These idiot cops had better learn to beg in Spanish/Drug cartel speak.
“To protect our pensions and to serve our union.”
Poor as sh*t muzzle discipline by the cop disarming him. Guy needs remedial training. Actually, he needs to be fired, he’s a liability to the dept.
This is the same fellow Michael Yon is having his weird hate with. Does anyone at there know what the dispute is really about? Yon has posted a long rambling diatribe twice that obfuscates more than explains the basis for his grudge match with this man, who to me appears more sinned against than sinner.
Too much anti 2nd Amendment bitching on this thread.
Didn’t think you got irrational and unprofessional moronic *ssholes like this among the cops in Texas.
Guess I was wrong.
This officer crossed the line in my view by taking the weapon since there was no sign of dismay/injuries. Police officers are a mixture of all of us. Some are great, others seem to go into the job for fame about a job while even some go as far as stepping over the law. Some of my best friends and my spouse’s friends are current and retired LEOs. They have a hard job, no doubt. You can watch the video in the first few moments of the interaction, to see what happens on both sides. My spouse got into one of these situations once; the cop wanted to take his rifle. no reason. He didn’t give him the rifle. Words back and forth of the two. Once the sergeant came on the scene, he made the initial officer to back off and to release my spouse.
All you apologists, can kiss your own azz, since your head is there anyhow. Morons. Bootlickin’ morons, every last one of ya.
