I do not see a problem here. I am sure there are other Sig Forum members who have had guns pointed at them by LEO over the course of their lifetimes. Thoughts?

I don't see the problem either, and have been held at gunpoint by the police several times.

It's not like he was just driving around, minding his own business, saw some kids, and decided to lay them out on the sidewalk. They had a report of somebody being armed, and responded to it. They didn't shoot anybody, and once it was determined they were not who was being looked for, were allowed on their way.

They matched the description of who they were looking for, they held them, everything checked out, they let them go. Nothing to see here.

Of course now some officer will get killed because they will make them not draw on a minor and some thug will take advantage of that.

I have had guns drawn on me twice in my early twenties.

You hold your hands out the window of the car and you do what you are told to do.

No problem.

Oh don’t forget to say yes sir after the command.

Hell, I'm the police and I've been held at gunpoint by the police. If they have reason to believe someone might be armed and no one is shot who didn't need to be shot, where is the problem?

Hey, I'm not an LEO, but when I was an elementary school principal, I took loaded guns off elementary school students on two different occasions.

I see nothing wrong with what the cop n the video did if the kids fit the description.

I've only ever had Guns "drawn" on me by drug addicts as I'm getting off the train in my 20s. That's why I'm here actually!
