Why did he pull his gun? The headline is another example of media race-baiting.

From the video, it appears he pulled his gun because the woman did not pull over for some time and he must have interpreted that as demonstrating some overtly aggressive state of mind. Whether that is a legitimate reason to jump out of your car with your gun drawn (I would say not) is another question.

However, the woman's given reason for not stopping until she reached the mini-mart parking lot was reasonable, and the video bears that out. She said she didn't want to pull over in such a dark area with three kids in the car. I wouldn't have either in that situation.

Three kids and their father?

Agree. The deputy was a complete dick.

I sort of agree with you, but what is the cop supposed to think? Someone is driving 20 mph over the speed limit. I know a guy whose father was killed by the person he pulled over in the dark. So cops know that this is dangerous.

The cop had no idea who was in that car. Who drives away from the cops and doesn’t pull over? I get that it was dark, but I’m not sure I think the cop did anything wrong. What if a guy got out of that car with his own gun? The cop was trying to be prepared.

All this being said, I don’t know…I’m not a cop and haven’t been trained as one. There are good cops and bad cops. Was this a good one who has been ramrodded by the Wokesters or is this a bad cop? I swear, I cannot tell anymore, just that there are two sides to this story.

If I was a good cop, I’d consider leaving the force because the odds are against me these days. Go find a nice desk job doing coding and let someone else handle this mess.
