But it wouldn't be unreasonable for officers to draw their guns until they know what the situation is, said Sgt. Rich Weiner of the Columbus Police Division.

"The first thing we need to address: This man has a gun," Weiner said. "We're going to pull our guns."

Um, no, it would not be reasonable. And it would be use of excessive force at the least and possibly a felony on the part of the police. Felony? Yup, try assault with a deadly weapon (just pointing a gun at someone is an assault), and there is no applicable privilege or immunity because the person is NOT breaking the law and there is no reasonable cause to believe that he is.

Mr. Weiner is a moron. He needs to either get a clue RIGHT NOW or BE FIRED.

/the foregoing is not legal advice, just my understanding
