[citation][nom]angryfingertips[/nom]How would you know that he is unarmed? He is on a motorcycle and you could not see the other side. If I remember the video, he does put the gun away when he secured the scene. I have a concealed carry permit, but that would come up on their computer, but he was not in squad car. It is very easy to conceal a weapon. Since the officer is in plain clothes he is at a disadvantaged and would have no ideal why this guy is driving the way he is driving. Did he just kill someone, rob someone, running drugs, etc.....Yes he should have shown his badge and do a better job identifying himself as an officer, but that is lot to say and remember to when your adrenaline is pumping. How else would you stop, but to cut him off.Officer may have not done everything perfectly, but we do not see the whole video, nor do we get everything that the guy did on the motorcycle. He would have been best to edit his video to only show the cop cutting him off and flashing the gun. Instead he shows that he was speeding. A little video editing would have went a long way to help him. I think that he had every right to post the video, but it may hurt him more than help him in the end.I talked with a former drill sergeant and he told me something I didn't even think of, his quote " This guy could be get a general discharge for the speeding. If you were one of the 40 guys, (he may have anywhere between 8-40 guys under him as a sergeant) would you want to put you life in his hands. If he is reckless we his own life, what would he do with yours in his hands." Some thought on how the army may look at the situation.[/citation]
Are u serious? I'm not condoning stunting, but how many motorcyclists have you seen that stunts on a road versus a man that "kill someone, rob someone, running drugs, etc." You must obviously not have been around super sport bikes much. The motorcyclist would have no chance outside of outrunning a cop. It's not like he was evading the cops.
