[Above My Pay Grade]

What questions have I evaded?

To sum up.

I have no problem with the guy taping or arguing with the cop.

Not sure the cop needed to approach the guy and draw his gun, but we don’t know what he saw

Even if the guy is on his own property, the officer can still demand to see his hands. Little known fact, today’s modern bullets have the ability to cross property lines.

Once the guy refused to show his hands, I lost all sympathy for him. That is thug behavior, not law abiding citizen behavior.

Even if he had been right up until then (don’t know if he was or not) he surrendered all legal and moral high ground by refusing to take his hand out of his pocket to show he was not a threat.

As for Trump he has been a NYC Liberal all his life. Pro gun control, pro abortion, pro illegal, pro socialized medicine. If you choose to believe his act, fine. I am not that gullible.

Total Non Sequitur.

At issue is not the safety of the cop, but the rights of a citizen to remain free from molestation without cause by the state.

Between some of the more mental/socialist public servants, ISIS and other foreign enemy cells threatening us, we might see quite a show. Obviously, both are against law-abiding residents and on the same side. Get out of way, I say. Both factions love antagonisms. It's a good time to improve video security with real-time Internet uploads, stay at home (to avoid generating big tourism revenues), stock up on popcorn and get ready for the funny show.
