If you're scared, DO NOT BECOME A COP.
25 years in Law Enforcement and that is the dumbest police encounter I’ve ever seen. You can’t make this up even if you tried. Nearly shot a man for waving a gas pump ⛽️!……
Good for the man and those around him for standing up to that cop. If you can’t see the difference between a “weapon” and a gas pump nozzle, you shouldn’t be a cop.
If he was holding a cell phone it would look like a gun to this cop this cop is going to hurt someone
This what causes people to almost even hate people without even meeting them
Why are these people police officers?😮
"You saw what you wanted to see!"
That's not what it looks like from the motorized vehicle public. This was ridiculous. This is why lawsuits were made.
The fact that the cop knew he was wrong and then try to ask the store clerk is a problem.
Can you say LAWSUIT????? That was insane!
