They all have a Wyatt Earp complex? Guess I better go see a psychotherapist.

So if he had pulled out his ticket book, and the cyclist had pulled out a gun, I would be attending yet another cop's funeral.

I've been on the barrel end of guns too, and I unholster my weapon when dealing with the unknown often. I don't point it or put my finger on the trigger unless it looks like a deadly force situation. The cop in the video didn't point his either, it appeared to me that as soon as he realized he wasn't in danger he reholstered.

I am sorry you have had some bad experiences with cops, Marc. No need to generalize though. I have known cops who were killed by people who were older than age 63, and I have known cops that were killed by people who were physically handicapped. I will continue to unholster my weapon in situations similar to this, so that my Dad doesn't have to attend a cop's funeral.
