“The only problem I have is not seeing the entire stop. Did the man do something that we do not see in the clip provided that made this cop pull out his gun? Him having his gun trained on the man is not proper procedure either, unless the man had given him good reason to.”
The main thing we don’t see, that the cop DID see, was what came back on the guy’s record when the plate was run before the stop. He very well may have had good reason to be nervous about the driver.
You are absolutely correct on all of the points you make. Some here on FR are nothing more than cop haters.
Wow, that was stupid. I don’t really care about you sppositions that cop “ran the guy’s plate”. That officer rabbited off several shots in a crowded area. No regard for the citizen in front of him, no regard for all the bystanders around him.
Cowardice, plain and simple. I have faced fire and so have a whole bunch more of us on this thread. Never shot the wrong people. Anyone who is entrusted to protect and serve had better have a lot more guts than that cop.
