To each their own. I don't like the opinions of others here as well but they are entitled to them rather I like them or not.

I know I'm the minority here. I'm not bashing police officers as a whole but that seems to be what some people here think I am doing. Maby there is more to the story. Like I said in my first post, sounded like there was two sides to the story.

I'm from a different part of the country and if a LE pulled a gun on someone for something like this where I live, they would no longer have a job.

Because of the relaxed way of life here in my town of 2,000 compared to that of a larger town in Texas, the cop just seemed gun-ho to me because of the life style I live in.

I didn't mean to offend any LEO's by my previous comment. That was just my opinion based on the way the LEO's are around my town.

Maby to you guys that serve larger towns, this is the norm and the cop did well.

I can tell you for a fact that if this would have happened in my town it would have had a far different outcome.

If a cop pulls a gun here in or around my town, it's going to make the nightly news and newspapers.

I guess I just didn't take into account that the city this had happened in was by far larger than where I live. Using a gun everyday on calls IS probably normal for parts of Texas as it can be much more dangerous there.


Just different views from different parts of the country.

Once again, I didn't mean to offend any of the LEO's here and if I did than I sincerely apologize.

Good explaination Josh, probably very different in your town. I bet the guys in Memphis, Chicago and LA have their firearms in their hands alot more than in their holsters.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but someone's opinion should be on a topic that they at least know something about, I try only to chime in with my opinion on things that I may have some knowledge about... for instance you will never see me have an opinion on CC's as I have no knowledge of them and for me to have an opinion on them would make me look Ignorant.
