Evidently this happened this morning. Sounds like the officer had no choice.

Glad Officer Tharp did not get any new holes.

Point gun at cop after being told to drop gun = leave officer no choice = death wish. Glad Officer Tharp is OK.

Agreed. Hopefully the man is alright, and will also think twice about doing something similar in the future.

What would the charge be for something like this? Brandishing a weapon?

No such law in Indiana. There's pointing a firearm...
