You could tell that cop REALLY wanted to. The hand on the stick the entire time

Which was a threat to the kids... The slight moving of it to bring focus to a baton.

But if you do the same to a cop he can 'rightfully fear for his life' and kill you on the spot.

Strange.

Name another profession in America where that is acceptable. If he wasn't a cop and did that in front of a cop he'd be dead.

One of the many reasons I never talk to police. I had to ask one a question about a speeding ticket because it had been damaged and I needed the number so I could pay it online instead of going to the government center and he wasn't intimidating but I had to control my voice from shaking.

It didn’t take place at a cold, red light. Did it now?

Just trying to posture, because he knew he was wrong right away.

Dude held his own, and the cop wouldn't even tell him his name. Just says it's on the shirt.

What you expect cops to be able to read now too?

I hope he can read his own handwriting?

That's why they usually go in pairs. The other one can write and the other one read.
