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. Scott D. |
