Vidkun approves of this postCop did the right thing, IMO. Cop saw a gun and deescalated the situation as quick as possible. I suppose whoever was wrong will come out later.
Looks like the biker ran to the cop saying "mommy mommy he pointed a gun at me".
Good point! Fixed the title.I came here to see which person was arrested. Title sounded like the biker was arrested.
Sure looked like he was going for one.Looked like the Biker was getting a gun. Driver didnt pull the trigger.
Good point! Fixed the title.
Agreed!This video seems like the best evidence the driver could ask for. Seems like his actions were in response to a visible threat.
I'm sure the cyclist did nothing wrong, and went into the work zone to tell the guy he had a burnt out tail light.
that was the part where the guy on the bike made a mistake IMO.The biker was reaching for something, maybe changed his mind once he saw the cop.
Biker was wearing a helmet (although the visor was open), so pepper spray may not have been effective. The only other non-lethal I can think of would be a taser or a byrna with "kinetic" projectile capsules for the same reason.... although maybe the dispersal would be better with the pepper/pepper + CS capsules? Who knows.Looks like the important part is missing as far as what led up to this. Unless the motorcyclist said something like “I’m going to hurt you” I can’t see pulling out your heater because the guy is walking towards you. Maybe keep it on your lap in case he’s a psycho but don’t point it at him like you’re the psycho.
What was the outcome of this?
That's the way I see it.Looks like the important part is missing as far as what led up to this.

Maybe the guy hit him, and he was getting his phone to take a picture of the tag?that was the part where the guy on the bike made a mistake IMO.
"he was reaching bro"
