I did not draw my weapon on the suspect. The situation I was in would take an entire report to communicate. Sufficient distance (200+ feet) and his immediate compliance kept the gun in my holster. He was actually closing the distance between us to report an active assault in another part of the trailer park and had armed himself with a bat to go after the person doing harm to an unknown female. It is not a nice part of the county.

Re: Video, 55 secs: Minn. LEO kills bat-wielding 17 year old

I have only had one encounter with a person coming toward me with a bat. I had a decent amount of distance between us and fortunately he complied with my request to put the weapon down. Could have been much worse as it occured in a dark trailer park and he was spotted by another officer as he approached from behind us. Glad the officer had no physical injury in this ordeal as he will have to deal with other fallouts from the encounter for the rest of his life.
