So when you go walking through the woods, or the streets, and a bear or mugger comes running at you and you pull out a gun, you are not defending yourself, you are intimidating the them. Now you can take that statement and turn it on him because intimidation to remove the threat from a life threatening situation is a perfectly reasonable idea to me. "Intimidation" is intentional behavior that would cause a person of ordinary sensibilities fear of injury or harm. Sounds like a perfect self defense tool to me. Although I do not think the bear will be intimidated very easily.
If they are not defensive tools then why would him or his officers feel the need to carry one on duty ? I mean with his point if view a gun wouldnt do him nor his officers any good should someone try to harm them.
I watched that and couldn't believe his logic, or lack there of. I hope he is the minority of Police Officers that believe this load of crap. I have been encouraged by some of the Sheriff Associations that have come out lately and their message of Constitution adherence.
I noticed the head-nodding from his posse stopped about the point he said officers don't carry guns as defensive weapons. They were probably putting on their poker faces, thinking "WTF did that clown just say in public????"
Surely this moron has been arrested by now for impersonating a police officer. I though Joe Biden was as dumb as a box of rocks, but this guy makes Biden look like a genius.
