Do you have a link to the story behind this? I'm curious because with the camera in his left hand, the manner of his behaviour, and the quick verbal escalation makes me wonder: Was this set up for the intentional purpose of creating an incident YouTube worthy?

Thanks superdown. I'll try and summarize my thoughts when these things come to be.

Number one. Yes he is a vetern and has served his country. For that I'm thankfull. However, that does not mean he is a balanced individual.
Number two. The source. This source is clearly agenda minded.
Number three. From what I see it appears that this person has a camera in his left hand. It also appears that this was a set up encounter designed to escalate. His son was prepared to film.

To me nobody should be surprised in the outcome of this encounter. He wanted a showdown and he got it. This could have gone much much worse. He or the officer could have fired shots.

I know we will have plenty of comments about the tyrant government and the losing of rights. I've said it and I'll keep saying it. If you act with the intention of creating an event to show that by golly I can and damn you for saying I can't then buck up and don't be surprised when your face hits the hood.

That cop should be fired and charged with assault.

Yes, but sometimes when you go look for trouble, you find it.

I disagree. I think a case could be made for the individual to be looking at disordly conduct charges.

I agree with Woodblock. If you want to create a scene you often get your wish.

Bikini barista in a jeep, glassing a 2pt, wishing for a 3rd point, AR on their back, recipe for bbq sauce and smoking tips in back left pocket, next to tribal land, unmarked private property close by, and.......AND I SAY......a blurry something that could be a Biggie in the background.

I expect that this will be swept to the off topics board before too long.

I really would like to know her secrets concerning the BBQ sauce and smoking tips....

I definitely think this guy was out on the road looking for this confrontation. In that respect, he's a trouble-maker. Having said that, the police went too far. He followed orders and the cop got nervous and went overboard. I understand being nervous on a stop with a guy who's holding a semi-auto, but that doesn't excuse his actions.

I agree this thread will go far.

The jackboot tyranny in this video BOILED MY BLOOD.

That's what it said on www.thefreethoughtproject.com, so it's exactly what I think! Because if you don't agree with what they say on www.thefreethoughtproject.com, well then you're not really a free thinker, are you?!

I agree, 2nd amendment rights were violated. I hope it was a setup and I hope these officers are reprimanded if not fired. They should know the law and follow the law regarding all constitutional rights.

So you must agree or you're not a free thinker? Isn't that the opposite of free thinking? Maybe you did that on purpose.

It actually belongs in Outdoor advocacy with the 2A topics, but it's a good discussion.
