I did this bass ackwards. I read all of the post before watching that video, because I had already made up my mind that the cop had found a way to abuse his authority (I respect officers, but some cops make this very difficult). No, I am not a ex-con. My only infractions are speeding related. Back on topic. I wish that he had been bigger and stronger, because those females deserved a world class butt kicking. That officer allowed himself to be placed in a very bad situation. I think that he is lucky to be alive. I don't see how this could be political or racial. He was lucky that the mob mentality did not kick in. I saw too many times where he could have been shot or stabbed because he did not have control of his surrounding. Glad he is alright. The only thing that his dept needs to do to him is get him in a weight training class.
That was not a gun that I could see at the minute fifty mark.
