Man Arrested After Pointing Gun At Bloomington Police Officer

(BLOOMINGTON) - An Indianapolis man was arrested after he pointed a handgun at a Bloomington Police officer.
Early Sunday, officers were called to the Eagles Lodge after a report of a fight.
The party-goers were directed away from the 3100 block of South Walnut Street. An officer was at the service station when a person in a Pontiac G6 drove by and pointed a handgun at the police officer.
According to a police report, the officer followed the vehicle to a nearby convenience store and performed a high-risk traffic stop and ordered the occupants out of the vehicle.
Inside the vehicle police found marijuana and two handguns, a Glock .40 and a Smith Wesson .40 tucked underneath the passenger seat.
One of the occupants had a proper license to carry the Glock.
Police arrested 21-year-old Keron L. Brodley, of Indianapolis, who allegedly pointed the Smith Wesson out the window at the officer.
But on his way to jail, Brodley told police he only pointed his hand out the window at the officer.
Brodley was arrested on charges of intimidation, pointing a firearm at a law enforcement officer and carrying a handgun without a license.

So here is my questions:

How did they link the Glock up to the properly licensed occupant? I'm assuming the one accused of pointing the firearm wasn't licensed? Can anyone explain this to me?

Guess it shows they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed!

"Whose Glock is this?"

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

Had it been down in Salem , rather than Bloomington, they likely would be the _deadest_ tools in the shed for trying that kind of dumbass stunt...

"Who's Glock is this?"

HAHA! Should've known I'd get that answer!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

That's how the police do it, Fan.

 

[Bfish]

Yeah, plus I am assuming the guy who owned the gun said "that's my gun."

OK. Understandable.

Here's a little story about being pulled over one day a long, long time ago. I had about 7 handguns in the truck with me(I was doing some wheeling and dealing). My friend with me was freaking out because of the number of firearms in the truck. As I told the officer about the handguns, because two of them were in plain view in their boxes, not once did he ask who owned them. He was more interested in making sure one of us was licensed. My friend wasn't, but I was. So this is why I am curious and ask.

Only pointed his hand, officer mistakes kt for a gun, pulls him over and finds gun.
Possible, but given the number of cars without guns, maybe unlikely.
Maybe someone showing how fearless he is?

At least they had the good sense to not fire either gun off...unlike this guy.

So guy with a death wish points a firearm at a police officer while transporting an illegal substance in their vehicle. The one act alone shows his stupidity, but the two together is beyond stupid!

Gosh, that sounds like a good way to get transported in a leaky bag.

See this is what is wrong with cop bashing. If I was that cop I would have been shooting at these idiots. Point a gun at me and I feel my life is in danger I don't care if you pointed it 5 min before I already know you are armed and u have already threatened my life with said arm. This cop literally risked his life in this pull over and did not react in a deadly manner. These idiots are lucking they aren't starting a riot with there act right now.

An image of a fatman pointing his index finger going "Pew Pew Pew" came to mind while reading this...

The Peace officer used a huge amount of wisdom and patience. The fool could have easily died from lead poisoning for his stupidity. Now he gets to live long enough to have a chance to think better. I hope the arrested man does not become a liability for the general public.

Foresight is often not the strong suit of these folks.

I cannot imagine the amount of **** the cops in Bloomington put up with. They must have one hell of a selection and training process.

Makes total sense...

I do feel for the Bloomington officers. I know one and just dealing with the people they do on a constant basis I know for a fact keeps it interesting.

It couldn't be that great of a process, they hired me.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

I was in Bloomington for 6 months, can't say I ever saw a patrol officer.

Did you have your eyes open at all during the 6 months?
