    To be fair, I don't usually travel outside of the gun rights forum. The second cop should be investigated and sent to remind all training. To me, it looked like the other cops that showed up were a lot more cool and composed than the contact officer in the second video.

    That being said, I am curious of how many times and contacts the second video was made to get that specific reaction so they could make the comparison video. Editing can be a powerful tool, but I won't judge or condemned without knowing the facts of each individual case. To do so would be intellectually dishonest once the real facts came out instead of a lot of conjecture and comparison. For all we know, a little old woman drove by, said there was a man with a gun waving it around on the side of the street. That type of phone call would elicit a completely different reaction from the police than an initial contact made by a patrol officer noticing something different on his beat.

    I don't often see myself agreeing with you, but you are right in this case. A much better comparison would be a black and white male, but ing carrying identical (or near enough) guns down the same street, same time of day, but on different days. Circle the block until something happens. Do this comparison in every state (where legal) and then do comparisons.

    Urban crime is by far a problem with Black & Hispanic racists and supremacists who will not punish felons, and who allow a culture of gangs and violence.

    Shame on them! There is no excuse for any of them toleratiing a single gang or repeat violent felon a second chance without slamming them hard.

    Places like Detroit and Baltimore happen when police don't properly profile and arrest bad people.

    You are taking a very naive and coinfused view-- your suggestion that the cop could have taken down the suspect quicker than the suspect could have gotten off a shot because of the way the weapon was slung..... aka you have no idea of the capabilities of the cop or the suspect and what do you mean by taking down the suspect down? Did you want the cop to throw the suspect on the ground? You need to clarify your statements. To take the suspect down....actually implies a far harsher response from the cop than
    simply ordering the suspect to get down on the ground. You are overcomplicating the incident not even to mention you have no idea what info was given to the cop or if the cop just happened to see the individual...for all you know the cop may have been told the suspect was engaging in some sort of suspicious behavior other than just being armed with a deadly weapon.

    What makes you think the police are to protect and serve? Protect who and serve who? You sound very idealistic.

    The sort of weapon in this case makes no difference....do you believe the police should have behaved differently because of the type of weapon the suspect had? ....the suspect had a potentially deadly weapon....case closed.

    You have no information on what the suspect may have done...and as pointed out....certainly no info in regards to other reasons the cop may have acted as he did....aka info the cop may have receieved regarding this suspect.

    In a nutshell way to much attention has been given to this incident.....much ado about nothing. Big deal the black man had to lay down on the ground......ooh me o---my ohh call the ghostbusters.

    Irregardless....there are many cases of real police abuse in Nevada......google the incident at costco a few years back wherein the police gunned down a West Point Graduate who went shopping at Costco in Las Vegas
    with his girlfriend and wound up getting shot to death by the police for doing nothing other than having a legal concealed weapon...the police were given bad information and thus were provoked to be very aggressive and trigger happy. Many cases of real police abuse in Las Vegas....where the police are known to be very trigger happy.

    ElDiabo...

    The job of the Police has some risk. Them being chicken does not constitute doing such things to innocent civilians.
