...it's not even worth arguing about because everyone can have their own opinion on what is or isn't appropriate here. Given that all we have is a video from after the officer holstered the gun and stood there while the driver went off on him in some pretty ugly ways, it's odd to me that this is being held as evidence of some great racial injustice. We don't know anything about the situation from before the camera started rolling.

All of this is moot, however, if your assertion from earlier in the thread about him having broken protocol is true. So I'll ask again, do you know he broke protocol here?

I'd be curious what constitutes a clear and present danger in your mind as well. I bet it's a different definition than mine. And probably different than the officer. Who's right if that's your standard? Everyone.
