[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 931691, member: 423"] Disclaimer: I don't know everything that happened, and I wasn't there. From what little in the way of facts/video I have seen, I think there should be some kind of corrective action against the officer. His actions (read disclaimer again please) appeared to be highly irresponsible at best. Now, if ([B][I][U]IF[/U][/I][/B]) I had been there (assuming CCW was legal), since it wasn't evident who he was "after," I don't think a CCWer could claim deadly threat. However, I would have been calling the police, and if possible without exposing it, I would likely have put my hand on my piece. That way if the situation changed, you would be ready. Now, I said highly irresponsible at best, because we are lucky that it was a uniformed officer that responded to the drawn gun. What if it had been another plainclothes/undercover officer, then the first officer (the "offender" as such in this case) might not have recognized them and escalated the situation further. Now, rather than focus further on the undercover LEO, well done to the responding officer. He handled the situation well. He was prepared, but did not escalate. [/QUOTE]
