Well what do you know? A police officer got it right. The guy in the video is being a complete d-bag and yet the officer keeps it together and maintains professionalism. I guess they aren't all corrupt right guys and gals? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts....

Yeah the guy was being a d-bag... for every 1 cop that acts bad, there are probably a thousand cops that don't... I don't let "incidents" cloud my judgment... however knowing that there are bad cops out there, something should be done to make that number even smaller...

One exceptionally professional officer and one not so exceptional citizen.

I agree completely. Its just a shame that as that citizen was talking about his rights he didn,t stop and think about his right to not be a passive aggressive d-bag.

This should be used as a training video on how to handle the public in this situation.

An absolutely brilliant police officer. This vid should be required viewing for all police officers.

Something about this video really irks me and I'm surprised no one else has commented on it.

In my opinion, the guy doing the filming is out looking to prompt a reaction to get it on camera. He's being an a-hole in an attempt to provoke the officer and I think thats completely pathetic.

Nothing wrong the Open Carry citizen. He was just exercising his rights. You people have a problem with Freedom and the Constitution?

Congratulations for the LEO in doing his job correctly. Would make a great training film for the Academy.

If a person is carrying a gun where everyone can see to at least you know he is armed. That is a warning that this is a serious person and will fight if attacked.

IMHO the cop should have said, "good day, sir: and walked on by.
