..."he followed extremely close, bumping his stomach into my right gun side. I turned toward him, and he stood staring at me. I then asked him not to bump me, and just stood there and stared."

This officer is lucky to be alive. He failed to recognize multiple classic "danger signs" and allowed ding-dong access to his gunside.

I always assumed that if I made contact with a police officer I would be eating asphalt with a knee on the back of my head. What on earth was that officer doing?

"This officer is lucky to be alive."

I couldn't believe that when I read it either. I'm hoping it was the REPORTER who made the officer out to be that utterly incompetent. IMO, he's probably not the only one of the group at the accident scene lucky to be alive.
