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.

Until you watch the video, yes, you ARE making assumptions, based on still photos that are very misleading. This cop didn't just "act stupidly," he was deranged and hysterical. Had I been there, whether I had been a teen or one of the adults, I'd have been part of the "mob" racing to constrain him, because he posed a much larger danger to everyone than any of the bystanders.

I repeat: WATCH THE VIDEO. Or are you afraid to?
