And you don't think 8 policemen with their hands on their guns was
infringing on this guy's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness? He sounded pretty unhappy to me.

Now who is blowing up what Paul. In the link that you provided, he
only spoke of 2 officers at his door, not 8. And with out any more
information, you dont know if it was a single 2 man unit or two 1 man
units that were dispatched.

But because I wasnt there, its hard to see who was over reacting, him
or the Seattle police. I dont know, a few questions may have been in
order. Just like what we saw posted here a few weeks ago about a news
crew acting suspicous at an FBO who got carted away.

And its hard to say what the officers intentions were as to why they
had thier hands "casually" resting on thier weapons. It could have
been an intimidation thing, or it could have been they were ready for
anything in an "unknown" situation, or they could have unconsciously
been doing it. Let me justify that last one by saying that I was an
officer for 13 years, and I have at time placed my hand on my
weapon... not for any real reason, but to rest it there, then there
were times, because of signals that my unconsious mind was picking up
from the person I was making contact with made the hairs on the back
of my neck stand up, I made myself in a more ready stance for anything
to happen. So, with just taking one side of the story and believing
in it full heartedly, you are doing yourself a disfavor. In every
story, there are atleast two versions. Once you hear all versions,
somewhere in the middle is the truth.
