Regardless of the guys intention, the cops handled this VERY poorly in my opinion.
No doubt. The cops' handling of the situation, especially the continued cursing after he knew that the guy had a CHP and was recording the encounter, wins all involved a retard award. At some point you probably should get a clue that you may be in the wrong. Perhaps you may want to look up the directive that the guy is citing? It is not until the end when he is returning the guys gun and giving him the information on how to file a complaint that he acts civil.
While not surprising, I am disappointed with the lack of knowledge of basic firearms law.
I like the charges. You never know what will happen in court so I won't make a prediction on whether he walks or not, but from what I heard, the only person recklessly endangering anyone was the LEO. The guy should have complied instead of questioning the officer out of a sense of self preservation. It could have ended badly for the citizen.
Alls well that ends well. Maybe he will get a new motorcycle out of it.
