“I don’t care who you are, if you brandish in front of officers, you’re messing with fire.”
It’s sad that that’s where we are today. Protect and Serve are long gone and forgotten.
I don’t know what transpired, but officers have legitimate concerns too. They get hardly any respect these days. Folks are a lot more inclined to give them guff than ever before.
You can argue they brought it on themselves, but our culture has changed too. There are people in our society who think they should be able to do anything they want, no matter if it’s a violation of the law or not. And those people would rather draw on an officer than acknowledge their own guilt.
Some guy waves a gun, or ignores officers attempts to get him to drop the gun, what are they supposed to do.
I don’t think you’d be willing to take one in the gut rather than take action against a guy that wasn’t complying with your demands.
These officers were protecting and serving by taking the woman home.
