Trump - MILITARIZE THE POLICE! Me - Nah.

Dude didn't identify himself as a cop till a few minutes into the encounter.
Bet if that motorcyclist busted a cap in the detective's ass out of fear he was being jacked it would be the boys in blue "crying about it".
You want to go home at the end of shift? Don't draw guns on strangers and accost them in the middle of the street.
That was dangerous and stupid. Don't care how the idiot handles his pistol.
Derp.

Whatevs, no harm no foul, I'm not gonna nitpick it, and since he was smartly at the low ready, he would have blown that rice rocket ridin' hipster faggot into the next world, if he ever tried to reach for it, hence, tactically sound. /shrugs.

If you're a sheriffs deputy, you gonna have to draw down on some strangers, and no doubt they're all gonna cry that they're being "accosted" by the armed agents of the state, that just goes with the territory, but I ain't mad'atchas, Johnny Law, do what you gotta do, and if the noisy minority wails about it, don't fret, the silent majority has your back, and you always gotta be ready to lawyer up anyways, so just getter done, don't sweat the chickenshit.

Weird how the road pirate holds his firearm like a criminal.

Nah, that's tactical, keep it tight to you, with one hand free, ready for CQB, and to shoot from there as necessary.

If you're going from room to room, clearing your property, home defense scenario, that's how you should roll.

That's basically "at the low ready"; with a sidearm.

You should train to shoot from there, free hand for search/seize/ward/fend, low ready snap shoot point blank simultaneous; counterambush scenario.

Personally, if I had to search/seize on the highways of America, I'd be set for ward/fend shoot from the low ready too.

Lolbergs wanna cry about it, whatevs, just go home at the end of your shift.

Col. Jeff Cooper would assess this situation in about a tenth of a second, right? Compressed Ready is the only way to go; this doesn't seem controversial . . . AT ALL.

Redbox Gangstas gonna Redbox Gansta, I guess. :shrug:

High compressed is the next level of ready, but you're not going to be at the high compressed when you need your free hand, whether search/seize, or just going around your house turning lights on and opening doors, so you drop to the low ready when you have to put your free hand into the breach.

Didn't know we had so many fans of unchecked state force for minor traffic violations.
I guess as long as they hold their guns nicely, eh?

What a puppet circus.

Give me the context and I'm with you. Did this cop just say, "the next motherfucker on a bike I see is getting his ass run," or was something else going on?

How do I know, based on what you've provided, that this victim was flashing his piece out on the lanes? I need the big picture here to lay waste to this cop.

It's almost like I linked the larger story in the initial post just for police state-fellatio fans.

Agreed, I was (obviously inartfully) talmbout the MHF "critique" of this cop's handling of his firearm, as if he were making some intentional decision to hide his piece amongst his manboobs from other people on the highway.

Redbox Gangstas gonna Redbox Gansta.

Ah, I see.

So if you're going to randomly draw down on random motorcycle riders, then this asshole has great technique. Fantastic. If we're going to start extolling the effective techniques of state violence against perpetrators of minor infractions zyklon-B should probably get its own thread, eh?

/sigh

Why did this cop pull this guy over? Inquiring minds want to know.

Do you have any doubt about how quickly I will light this cop up if the stop was "random?"

Really?

Christ, dude... click the link. The chief of police already launched an investigation. Speeding, dude. The motorcycle was speeding.
