let’s be clear about something- i did said gun point- that was incorrect- They made it perfectly clear however they were fully prepared to take whatever steps were necessary to get the situation under control, and acting in a manner that posed a danger to others in my drunken stupor- — because i was drunk and acting out- the police made it perfectly clear i needed to pay attention and obey orders- and the police were not sure how i was going to react- there wasn’t any ar 15’s used by the police, however when a cop has his hands on his revolver- screaming orders at you- you are in danger- and they made it clear they weren’t messing around with me and that i needed to follow instructions- or else- and i don’t blame them one bit for their aggressive stand and screaming and yelling orders at me-

I was an alcoholic and did things I’m ashamed of- But thank you for adding insult to injury- guess you’ve proven that you’re never too old to insult someone in order to make yourself feel better about your own self huh?- One would think with age that the ‘need’ to do that would disappear- I guess not, huh?

the majority of my run ins with the law however were much more lenient than i deserved- and they gave me breaks i didn’t deserve- and even took time to try to talk sense into me not as police, but as someone trying to help me not go down wrong paths - so no- not all cops are power hungry or out of control- Not even the cops in the video- even the two i had run ins with that could have turned deadly were simply doing their job wanting to go home safe at night for everyone involved- but it was more than clear to me that if i screwed up by acting aggressively and disobeying orders, reaching my hands where a weapon could have been stashed, that force was going to be used- There was no ambiguity about what their intentions were- and i was more drunk than that fella that died in the video- but was able to understand that they were not messing around-

good golly- I said “take whatever steps were necessary to get the situation under control, and acting in a manner that posed a danger to others in my drunken stupor”

I meant “They made it perfectly clear however they were fully prepared to take whatever steps were necessary to get the situation under control, —BECAUSE I WAS— (didn’t mean to imply they were acting out) acting in a manner that posed a danger to others in my drunken stupor”

That’s it- too tired to continue posting- too many mistakes
