“The cop showed great restraint”
So you have no problem minding your own business on your own property and having a cop come up to you like this? Not the kind of police state I want to live in. The cop gave no reason for being there.
Notice the cop never moved beyond the sidewalk. The cop knew he had no reason to be there and was in the wrong. Pure intimidation.
Given the erratic behavior of this cop, I wouldn’t take my hand out either. I’d be thinking he’d use it as an excuse to claim he thought I was drawing a gun.
The man had a right to be there and the cop has the right to patrol and slow down or stop near any home he wants to.
Does anyone know the taper’s backstory? I have no problem with him taping the police, but a cop slowing down near my home does not seem at all suspicious or ominous to me. He seemed rather paranoid about it. He also made some comment to the cop about what the cops had done to his family. I wonder what that was all about.
