For crying out loud, what is so difficult about that? It's only seven minutes. WATCH IT before you jump to conclusions. Make up your own mind instead of depending on some lame reporter to spoon-feed to you what you should and CAN be doing for yourself.
I’m not making assumptions on this particular case. I am saying that generally if a mob starts moving toward a cop to take up for the one being arrested, that cop would be dub not to be prepared.
Yes, the cop in this instance probably “acted stupidly” and from the still pics I saw it looked like a girl he was arresting could have gotten his gun if he hadn’t pulled it, because of the way he detained her.
