 The cops attitude is all too common in law enforcement.  Apparently the uphold the constitution

part of his oath was without reading the constitution and explaining what the English terms Keep

ad Bear mean.  To me the modern version should read OWN and CARRY.  That is what keep and

bear means.  Tell the to the Police Chiefs Association president and all of its members as well.

They don't need a pistol off duty or at home if we can't all have one.  They don't need personal

protection more than any person in the USA.  The second amendment does not say citizens in

good standing with the local law enforcement or who have paid all their dues.  Those founders

were very good at English.  If they had meant to say that, they would have said that.  If they had

wanted a few enclaves where no one cares to have guns then the second amendment would say

the right to carry firearms in a few enclaves where no one gives a damned.  It does not say that.

Cox has a clear unstable temper to be a police officer.

His actions as a so called professional, Dont Pass.

Fire.

Me thinks that Officer needs a few classes in "Anger Management".

It is obvious that he is angered because he "Made the mistake" of not taking the proper precautions that are outlined in Police proceedures 101. HE is the idiot, NOT the person he arrested.

As I listen to the commentary further, I think he should be released from the Police Dept. simply because he is totally out of control and close to a breakdown. Having a badge (and a gun) does not

give a cop carte blanche. It requires a cool head and skill. I saw neither in this Officer's demeaner during this episode.

Cox should be summarily " FIRED " for his "STUPIDITY". Like Obama he is making up his own version of the Law. The gun owner will be exonerated as soon as the Judge sees the tape. (Unless he too is a "politically motivated gun confiscation nut"). Let's send this tape around the Country and get the "Keystone Cop" canned, and make him a school crossing guard.

Once an individual presents a properly obtained and recent concealed carry license, the officers attempts to take the weapon ends, unless other thngs happen. Accidentalexposure is just tht, forgetful and accidental. Sue the Sheriffs Dept, big time.

This punk ass little Barney Fife should be out of his job,one for his language in front of the mans wife and for his atitude. Give a punk like this a gun and a badge  they think they have all power ,his own camera shows this man had no intention of harm or diplaying the weapon. He is a typical coward with a gun and scared to death if someone elselawfully carry's one also

@Theodore Harley Knight: IF he can't handle the pressure, he shouldn't be in the position, period. He more in need of a psyhc evaluation. There IS NO EXCUSE for his behavior.

Personally IMO there is no justifiable excuse for the cop to say "I'm gonna shoot you in the f***ing back!

If I were his chief I would fire the SOB!

Theodore,

I agree that a Police Officer is at risk, never knowing what's on the other side of the door.

But, with your man on his belly, hands cuffed behind him it seems that civil language is in order, eh?
