Cop pulls gun on man pumping gas. SMDH. He thought the gas nozzle was a gun??

This makes no damn sense. Was he trying to rob the gas station from outside, standing by the pump?

I would have just kept repeating, to the cop, "Are you nuts?". But, then again, I'm not black. FadedMullet Oct 2025 #2

Hope the guy got the cop's badge number and any pertinent information.

I guess he figured Black people can't afford gas so the guy was trying to demand that the pump hand it over.
