[QUOTE="Griffin, post: 1585704, member: 18194"] That was an extremely tense video, I can't believe the level of disrespect the officer exhibited. While I understand the very real danger they could have been in if the driver had had harmful intent, I still don't think the actions of the officer were warranted. I have no idea what protocol is, but it seems to me that questioning the driver is usually one of the first things supposed to be done, if the officer's had simply started there this entire ordeal could have been avoided. Also though I think the driver should have been more vocal about his handgun, it could have prevented the reaction. While it is easy for us to judge in hindsight what should have been done, it is clear that things could have gone much worse. Despite the gross misconduct on the officer's part, I feel sorry for him, it is seems from the video that his anger came from the fear what of what could have happened if the driver had deployed is weapon. The officers were so intent on dominating the passengers and arresting the "prostitute" that they failed to secure the driver. The way this could have been avoiding on the driver's part is by practicing proper situational awareness, that is why it is so important where you go, how you act, and who you keep company with. The only thing we can control is our own actions, hopefully none of us will be put in that position. Out of curiosity how legal was that detainment and search? What was their PC?
