i dont agree that he was treated fairly, and i DEFINITELY do not agree with the camera charge bullshit but at the same time, i see where the cop making the stop was coming from, and since we do not know what was going through his head, i feel its not our job to judge him...he did nothing to harm the rider or put him in any danger, therefore i see no reason for people to be crucifying him over the actual stop now, i would be embarassed to be a part of that dept. after all the BS theyre pulling with the seizure of computers etc...and sure, maybe the cop was too extreme in his stop, but were all human, we all make mistakes, nobody was ever placed in any danger, and no harm was done from the actual stop the riders body language suggested that he knew he was being followed, the cop most likely saw the rider turning around to look at him and checking his mirrors repeatedly...for all we know, the cop could have thought the rider knew he was there, whether he actually did or not we will never know....so if the cop gets out of the car and sees the rider backing up away from him, possibly to reposition himself to take off on the bike or make a move towards to officer or any number of things, then i see no problem with him pulling his gun and having it ready at his side to protect himself ^ that is all speculation, maybe he is just a prick and wanted to show that he has all the power by pulling out his gun, who know? nobody knows the whole story, so all ive been getting at in this thread is that people should not all be going after the officer when he did nothing that harmed anyone....he never once aimed his weapon at the biker, he never got physical with him at all, once he felt the situation was under control he put his weapon back in the holster....i guess i dont see the big deal and PS....i dont have burnout marks in front of my driveway...tires are too expensive, and vmaxes dont have the best transmissions to be doing burnouts on lol...but i know what youre saying, and trust me, i use every ounce of power that thing has on tap when i feel like it
