What's new

I am completely speechless.

there's a better video of a similar situation, where the guy was actually a bit more calm and collected. i can't find it, though. :( the cop was also more level-headed... not sayin this one isn't; he's actually not bad either.

I think I've seen that one too.

The guy in this video is not only incorrect but he's also an asshole. This cop layed down and rolled over like a dumbass. Not at the top of his game, I'd say. A veteran officer knows how to deal with shitheads like this because they've dealt with guys like this 1000+ times. And yes, in my town I AM that guy. When I'm out of town I'm a lot more accommodating though always compliant and respectful. The most important thing when detained by an officer of the law is to remain calm. If you're agitated like the guy in this video then they have an instant reason to cuff you because you're threatening and therefore a possible danger to yourself or others, on drugs, and/or obstructing the duties of a peace officer. That's just the easy stuff that they don't even need to fabricate. Don't delude yourself into thinking that every officer is a good guy and plays by the rules either. Most are and do but you likely know nothing about the character of the one detaining you so be cool, know the laws, and seek a positive outcome. Unless you've got nowhere else to go jail sucks.
 
Man, I'm scared of cops. They have guns, will use it, and will always be right. They are big, strong, and are like in a brotherhood. I try not to be in a situation where I have to argue with them. I've been watching too much Cops.
 
The guy took a risk, anyways, most normal people would just sit back, shut up and just move on once they are doing their thing.
 
I just took my conceal and carry class a couple weeks ago, trainer was ex lapd, ex prison guard and so on, this cop tried all of the things that the trainer said he would lol. i would not have acted as brash as this civilian because you do not know the type of police officer you might encounter, there are many who would not be so "respectful" and would just throw you down and beat your ass and figure out their story later. there was actually something like that a year or two ago in minneapolis that happened. a guy was carrying concealed and was stopped by an a couple officers on foot, soon as they saw his gun (you dont have to have it concealed in mn but its better to have it be) they immediately beat his ass and removed his weapon and asked questions later. I believe they were caught on tape as well not sure. but yea, i cant wait till im carrying and some pussy ass liberal scum bag calls the cops on me and i can exercise my rights. ill just be much more polite and careful about it because i dont want to get shot or beat down by police over it.
 
Nowadays with all these suspicions of guns at school and whatnot.. I wouldn't think it's a good idea to carry a gun anyways.

I have had my ccw for almost 10 years, the media is a complete tooliery when it comes to this thing because 1, responsible citizens that have a ccw or practice open carry WILL ALWAYS attempt to stop a bad situation. 2. It is our job as citizens to look out for one another.

This may sound assine on my part but if anyone ever was on a shooting spree or robbing a bank or anything of the sort, I would draw every single time and do everything in my power to stop said tragedy.

That being said, I would gladly give my life in the defense of a complete stranger then to see them gunned down or what not cause of some loony that doesn't get hugged enough by his parents.
 
I've seen this before and a few others like it. I have no qualms, hell I feel safer, with people open carrying. The only time is when its someone acting suspicious. Guy walking down the street with a gun, no problem, guy looks ragged and homeless, then call.
