Re: Retired Army Vet Gets $15,000 From City
Unless there is more to the story, IMHO the officer escalated the situation far more than necessary. The citizen was discussing the legality of the situation with the officer and still had his gun holstered. I'm not sure why that would require a response of a gun pointed at him when the officer didn't immediately get his way. If the officer felt the holstered gun was a threat initially, he would / should have already had the man at gunpoint to begin with, not after demanding ID and telling him he was breaking the law.
