1. It's perfectly reasonable to keep driving to a safe spot. I've had a similar thing happen to me, though. I got pulled over and was going slowly past the off-ramp to a nice place to pull over where the officer could be safe - but he blasted his loudspeaker to stop NOW and was super-aggressive. He was screaming questions at me about why I "didn't pull over" and I repeated about 30 times "I was concerned for your safety, Sir. A local officer was recently killed on the highway." Eventually, he calmed down and realized that I really did care about him and gave me a warning instead of a ticket.

2. He's wearing his US Army uniform! Are those cops stupid?

There is absolutely no logic in treating a serving soldier like that - soldiers know they are answerable to the chain of command and have more daily discipline than most people. They have formation every working day!

They have formation every working day!

I never stood in a formation on active duty after I'd left Oakland Army Terminal. That no formation thing was more than 3 years.

Major Nidal Hassan was treated with kid gloves too.
