Jackass? It was a legitimate question. I'll expound.. Of the entire video, only about the first few seconds seemed to be "routine". It's not routine for drivers to refuse to take their hands out of thier pockets, it's not routine although in some lower states it does occur, for drivers to break out into a jig... Now I could have missed the mark and the comment by newmom was made in jest, wouldn't be the first time I missed the context of a sentence via posts... but jackass? seriously?
okay my apologies it sounded to me like you were being smart - after all this is getbig
So again my applogies.
Overall what most traffic cops or any other cop does it tell people to keep their hand IN their pockets, since they don't know at this time what they have in their pockets, some handguns are very small but can still harm and kill you.
The vid has been analysed for a long time since it has been around for a quite some time, if you pay attention to the deputy's voice you can hear that he always must have had a strange feeling about this guy.
The problem with being a cop is that even if you shoot somebody who shot at you first the news tend to spin it in the favor of the person that got shoot, before you know it there are interviews of family members and neighbors that testify that the person in question was such a good brother in law and a good neighbor and it seems to be always overlooked that the friggen guy tried to shoot a police officer.
Take for example an incident in Ireland, mentally challenged guy barricades himself in house with shotgun, the rapid response team (WITH UZI's I shit you not) suround the house and the guy comes out leveling his shotgun at the officers and advancing at them.
Of course they shot him.
Now for years after that all kinda do gooders were debating if they did right and why they shot him (THE GUY FUCKING LEVELED his shotgun and advanced atm the for christ sake) also the same people tend to say ... well why did they not shoot him in the legs
- like in the movies right? I've shot an Uzi on many occasions, it might be a simple solution for a quick and dirty job but it is NOT accurate enough to shoot somebody in the leg.
So thats part of the reason why he was hessitating, because he was of course thinking shit if I shoot him I be in so much trouble I might loose my job and my family and I will feel bad.
If you ask me he should have shot at him the second he walked back to his truck and said I've got something for you.
