How long has Barney "Butt Blaster" Frank been in office ?

About eight inches too long!

So.......Bottom line, is this asshat still riding around in a patrol car earning a salary from the taxpayers? If so the people of that city should be outraged, and invade every city council meeting until he is fired with loss of all benifits.  Bill T.

Apparently this asshat has decided to take the opportunity of having one of this police officers behaving like a jack-booted thug to criticize concealed carry laws.  No, hell no, it's not the out-of-control, badge-heavy embarrassment to the law enforcement profession that caused the problem, it was that a peon had the temerity to exercise his Constitutional right to defend himself (in accordance with the law of the land in that state) that pisses off this political douchebag.  To be honest, though, once I heard him say he was a lawyer I started to expect his statement to piss me off.

If I happen to find myself in a "crime-ridden" neighborhood at 1 o'clock in the morning, I damn sure WANT to be armed!!  I'm not sure who this asshat thought the cop in question was "protecting", but it looked to me as though the citizen needed a little protection from Robo-Cop.

This walking, talking rectum is just one more reason that Canton, Ohio will never need to worry about having my ample shadow cast upon it's doorstep.  And hopefully, the NRA, USCCA, etc will urge all their members to do the same.

The President of the Canton City Council needs to change his name to Richard Head.  Then, if he actually has any friends, they can call him Dick.

Why would the NRA or USCCA, etc. care?  They continue to support California!

I will say this without hesitation. There is no way I could have controlled myself as well as that guy did, for as long as he did! These kind of guys are just hoping to raise a reaction to justify their belligerent actions. The threats alone this asshole made should not only have cost him his job, but should have him brought up on felony charges. He threatened to "cave in his head", and "shoot him". This guy did nothing, and never behaved in a threatening manner. Never once.

All this clown did was play CYA for a traffic stop that should be used in every police academy as an example of how not to stop and detain someone! I have to admit this guy had zero business in that part of town, at that hour. He most likely was cruising for some ass. Be that as it may, 99% of the time if the guy was as well mannered as he was, the cops simply would have sent him on his way, telling him not to come back.

But this total asshat crossed the line and put on his asshole suit before he ever stepped from his car. I hate to say this, but this is the kind of cop who if he ever gets it in the line of duty, I hope his dash cam shows the same thing it showed in this case. These guys always wind up picking a fight with a tougher person who doesn't care. He got lucky with this guy because he still has his life. As far as I'm concerned that's more than he deserves! He is that big of a POS.   Bill T.

Cop or not, I say the guy would have been justified in shooting the prick cop. Doesn't the threats issued by officer dichead constitute a threat of deadly force against a legal ccw holder? And isn't that enough to justify fear of ones life? Enough to shoot to stop a threat? Extreme to be sure, and the poor guy handled the situation better than I think I could have. But if I was on the jury had he shot the cop, I would give him self defense all day long after watching HALF of the dash cam vid. I cannot express my anger at what this clown did to a citizen that he is supposed to be out there protecting.

A video of the same cop from July of last year shows him with the same attitude at a DUI stop when he sees a gun on the floor of the back seat.  Maybe some justification for it in this case, but he is WAY over the top again.

Trust me, the NRA does not do a damn thing in CA other then take money.

There would have been no jury had he shot Officer Asshat, since the second officer would have surely shot the citizen, and justifiably so to protect his own life.  The only way to win in that situation is by behaving calmly, exactly as the citizen did.  He put up with abuse, but he'll have the last laugh in this situation, when he watches RoboCop look for a job, and collects the big check (after his lawyer's cut) that he'll get from the City of Canton.
