You know the two instances are completely different. You're baiting. I'm not biting. Have a nice day.
So having a gun pointed at you point blank not knowing if you will be alive if 5 five seconds because there is an almost brain dead thug at the other end of the gun is nothing? A liberal would say just what you did sticking up for the guberbent thugs. At least we all know if your life is ever threatened all the guy has to do is say sorry later and it will be all better.....

Really, really surprised, and saddened. I can't wait to hear what you're calling a liberal point of view. This should be good. Please be more specific. Thanks. OK, you asked for it. Anyone who expects something for nothing. Which in my experience is exactly what happened here, imho. The Master Seargent deserved no more than an apology in my opinion, and assurances it wouldn't happen again. All said and done, for what we know, the officer was just doing his job. Someone called and complained that there was a man in the park walking around carrying a gun, the officer responded and most likely felt he was doing his job. Was he over zealous yes, should he have known the law, yes. Does the Master Seargent deserve an apology, yes. And that's all in my opinion.Someone expressed the opinion on this thread that maybe they deserve a settlement for pain and suffering following a car accident. If they are disabled and can not work, then yes, I agree they do deserve a settlement. Do they deserve having their wages paid while they can't work and have their car fixed yes. Do they deserve to get money because they had a stiff neck for 2 weeks and couldn't go on their evening walk with their little sweetie, simply because someone ACCIDENTLY hit the gas when they should have hit the brake. ABSOLUTELY NOT. It was an ACCIDENT, period. That and the feeling the Master Seargent should be paid simply for having a gun pointed at him, those are LIBERAL sentiments, expecting something for nothing. Just my honest opinion, and when the country started feeling that way it has become a slippery slope, a slippery slope indeed.So having a gun pointed at you point blank not knowing if you will be alive if 5 five seconds because there is an almost brain dead thug at the other end of the gun is nothing?

And, I have a strong suspicion that having a gun pointed at you is NOT nothing. I would imagine that it could be quite traumatic and for some could be tantamount to a near-death experience. Near-death experiences often change someone's entire life and not always for the better. Sorry GT, but I can't agree with you at all regarding this incident. Your cavalier attitude would suggest that, like me, you've never had a gun pointed at you in anger.
Why shouldn't he get 15K if it would of been some one else besides a cop he would have had the right to defend himself with deadly force.
