Streetfoto founder Ken Walton arrested at gunpoint
It sounds like this officer was out of line. However it made me think that maybe this type of stop is a trade off you have to make for the 2nd amendment. A stop where a cop is overly cautious and ready to use his weapon at a moments notice because the other person could have a weapon too. Police here don't carry guns and I am not worried if they try to stop me. In America I would be very worried if I was going to be stopped and I would be extremely cautious and deliberate in my movements whereas at home I wouldn't think about moving slowly and explaining every action I was taking.Edit: To be 100% clear I am commenting generally, not on this specific incident which, from what we know, seems out of line.
