The only problem I have with the officer’s conduct is that he pulled a gun on protesters were were obviously unarmed


Prove it.

That is a fact...

Read the report again. They got a message that someone with a gun was going to attack.

They weren’t innocent. They failed to obey a lawful order and were creating a hazardous situation with the miles long backup of traffic which included an ambulance.

They all should have been shot then...

No, they deserve to be arrested and charged with as serious crimes that they can be. What I am against is unarm civilians, being confronted, right out the gate, with a gun or weapon in their face. It's disgusting. Try to imagine if that was your daughter or wife or son. Some of the law enforcement types of this forum are nutjobs.

Same here, I agree. And it has nothing to do with this particular case. It is a general point of view. It presumes guilt before innocence. Far too many unarmed civilians are being killed by mistake because of this practice. Finger on the trigger in ready state is endangerment.

Apparently it is totally acceptable though, suspicion alone equals guilt and the lives of civilians guilty or not are just not as important as the lives of law enforcement.

And doing anything else gets cops killed. When one follows their directions they don’t tend to pull the gun

“And doing anything else gets cops killed.”

Because we know their lives are much more important than civilian lives right?

“When one follows their directions.”

And authoritarian control is what it is all about isn’t it?

Armed or not, immediately get on your knees and submit or be exterminated.

Don’t break the law and you will not have an issue

You don’t get it... To a cop EVERYONE is guilty of breaking the law whether they are or not. Everyone is presumed guilty before innocent in ALL cases. You do not have to break the law to be treated as guilty and be ordered to your knees in submission.

And THAT was my original point I made in this thread. Their presumptions are unconstitutional. Their presumptions of guilt get innocent people killed by accident because they have their finger on a hair trigger and are always in ready state.

But civilian lives do not matter, better to be safe than sorry guilty or not. Just in case.

I disagree. He did not want to shoot them. He knew he needed to establish immediate control least they attack him as has been often in the past by the crazed leftists. It worked.

Not true. I know plenty of police officers that do not fit your description

Perhaps you are the common denominator

These jack holes were on reservation land. They had no right to be there or to do what they were doing

My guess is if someone came into your house or yard you might have a similar reaction

Pretty evident that this group was NOT INNOCENT of obstructing the traffic on a state highway.
