[King James]

First off, not being an officer or having any of the knowledge or training involved in being/becoming one.... I won't pretend to know or make opinions on when an officer feels it is a necessary enough threat to pull out their gun. There are obvious situations when it is or is not necessary, but I don't think this falls into that category and is obviously one of the officer's discression. In the case of plain clothed officer I do personally think he should have been more vocal about making the biker aware he was an officer, but do not think he was out of line for drawing his gun (and not pointing it at the guy) especially since he was going 140+ on the freeway and then started to back away.
