Wonder what kind of disciplinary action they faced.
Disciplined for what? A trainee screwed up on a pat down. That is a training issue not a discipline issue. If he keeps it up, he will not make training. The passenger was good to remain alert and ask what he was doing. I used to use a NAA 22 that folds like a knife for training. Trainees would often miss it, and when they did "rlol" I would hate to be them. However that is how they learn. A good patdown is where the person being patdown is upset by the groping, ect. With all the clothing that guy was wearing, the more time it would take to be thorough.

While I agree with that part, the officer grabbing the bg by the throat and almost chewing on his face while swearing at him should be subject to discipline. Yes, he was scared, yes, he was ashamed that he missed the gun, but at the point that the bg was restrained, he needed to back off not continue holding him by the throat.
