What the Hell was this wipe doing with a shotgun anyway when it was clear that there was no threat present?

The guy probably would have never become a cop if he didn't have the power to play with his toys whenever he wanted to.

I've seen all sorts of "cop" shows on TV like "Cops", "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol", "Worlds Greatest this and thats" etc. On every one, they show footage of where 10-20 cops show up to deal with one armed man. Even after he is aprehended most are still walking around with guns, shotguns and rifle up and ready to go as if they are on some battlefield. Its pathetic. Its a show of power by a bunch of cowards.

Most likely; especially rural cops...any excuse to break out the shotty is always good for an extra beer at the bar. Wonder what this guy would have said if he wasn't caught on tape?
