Good thing he didn't act aggressively, he wouldn't be here to complain about it...which the cops would have been in their right. Gotta shoot someone before they can shoot you.... he never acted any way to deserve that from the cop... Yes he did, he had a weapon that was a threat to a cop. It was only a perceived threat. I watched the video and the man made no threats or moves that would indicate any threats. On the other hand the cop verbally threatened to blow the man's freaking brains out. The cop threatened to kill the man. He will be reprimanded and should be fired. Police are supposed to protect and serve not bully and threaten. he threatened to "shoot him in the back"... thats the kind of police willow wants protecting her... She wants a police state, not a free country.

The gun is a threat no matter if the person who has it is legally carrying it or not. To hash that is a waste of time.... When a person sees another person with a gun they need to act as if that person is a threat because they are.

I don't know how to transfer pics to here. There is a cartoon with every one with a gun pointed at someone while they do their errands every day. That is the only way that guns could be everywhere and not be a threat is if all of them are pointed at anyone they perceive as a potential threat all the time. Locked loaded unsafetied and finger on the trigger 24/7/365. Otherwise whenever a gun is in public it is a threat to those around it. We don't know if he is crazy. We don't know if he is one of those gun crazies who thinks he is the good guy and will open fire when he sees a threat....mowing down the innocent by standers while he saves the day in his false little world... So yea, wear your gun in public and you will be treated as a threat....and rightfully so. you been here as long as i have and you can't post a pic? Good I don't want to see her pictures anyway. She should be able to figure it out.

We have cowboys who walk around with guns and holsters all the time. LOL. Does that include cops? Should I consider every man I see to be a threat of rape because he has a penis? I don't live in such fear as you apparently do.

Stupid analogy. Penises are great fun. And barely ever deadly even in rape. Guns however are deadly even when folks are having fun with them. A gun is a threat. There is no way around that.

A gun is a threat regardless to who carries it. You have no idea of the mindset of the person carrying the gun. You can't know it until they shoot you that they meant to do that. Ok so they do go off on accident so it might just be an accidental shooting but you get the meaning and the bullet will still hurt regardless if accidental or intentional.

There is no way around that. speaking of stupid analogies, lets review the one you just said... penis can't kill anyone - true a man with a penis can't kill anyone - false a gun can't kill anyone - true a man with a gun can't kill anyone - false so a gun and a penis cannot kill unless there's a man with them... a man with a gun can kill a man with a penis can kill seems to me the common denominator here is.... man

Edited by willowdraga on Thu 01/31/13 03:44 PM Very seldom do penises hurt anyone when they go off accidentally..... Really? A pregnancy can kill. Rape is a serious and violent crime. Any man with a penis should be considered a dangerous threat. A penis is a threat regardless to who carries it. You have no idea of the mindset of the person with a penis. You can't know it until they rape you that they meant to do that. Relax Willowdraga. Policemen carry guns all the time. Does that mean they should be considered a threat? Ask that poor man that stupid cop arrested and threatened to shoot in the back. I bet that guy now considers cops to be a threat. I would.

All the twisted stats still do not disprove that there are far too many innocents who die in the name of "people using guns to protect themselves" which more innocents die than are ever protected by these guns. No stats disprove that because ......wait for it.....there are none to disprove it because....the truth is you are more likely to be shot by your dad with the gun he has to "protect you" in a murder suicide than you are to be protected by it.

The man had a gun so he is a threat. He will be treated as a threat until the cop can determine otherwise. So it is how it should be.

Cars kill tons more people than guns. Want to ban cars too?

If everyone carried a gun then I guess you would consider everyone to be a threat. Geeeeze what kind of world do you live in? You are so full of fear. I could kill you with my finger by hitting you in the right place. I have a heavy lead pipe in my car, an ax, and a knife in my purse. None of these things will kill anyone unless I pick them up and use them for that purpose. Stop picking on guns just because you are terrified of them.

It would appear the State has decided otherwise and the law officer may not be a law officer much longer. In any case, the State decided that the man carrying the gun was within his rights and did nothing wrong.

For the PEOPLE. So it is how it should be.
