Fuct up traffic stop: guns don't kill people, people kill people

Freedom of speech doesnt apply here, as the term applies to government regulation of speech, not personal.

So its perfectly legal for him to say PWND or w/e, its just tasteless. So as long as everyone isnt trying to that guy lynched, its all good.

Im surprised he didnt fire earlier, but I also dont see where he could have opened fire before he did (vietnam dude drawing his gun).

Edit: I'm surprised he was banned though, thats in as equally poor taste as his comment.

You use your very first post on this thread??

No one is discussing legality, it is a matter of decency and tact. Something which was grossly overlooked in this instance.

But further more, you are right, there is no legal repercussions to banning him or stifling his freedom of speech as a result of his incredibly tasteless and tactless comment.

I really don't understand why the cop waited and didnt just shoot when he picked up the gun.

I wonder what the ROE for law enforcement is?

Maybe the officer understood or felt sorry for what the vietnam vet had to endure?

Police officers can use reasonable force. He could have used other means of force early on in that situation but he didn't. Again this was probably due to his superiors talking to him about using less force.
