So that means that the police should be able to further regulate our rights? Yes, that is tragic, but it should not mean that law abiding citizens should have to be burdened by the government. Yes, I might've been pissed if I was the officer, and I would have a right to be pissed. But that doesn't give the officer the right to harass the man.
I agree, and stated so in my post. I think it was just bad judgment for this guy to go looking for a confrontation with a gun and a camera.
That cop had no clue what what was going on and no doubt was concerned... maybe a little scared.
I was just stating how a routine situation can turn ugly in an instant.
Sure the cop should have let it drop... but a LEO never knows what is going on in a persons head.
