I am half way through the police academy. I have been watching every video possible. My friend ran across this video. After watching this and others, I have come to the conclusion that the general public has more stupid people than I once believed. After watching this video, check out the comments posted below. I understand that people may not understand or put themselves in the position of the officers, but surely they should understand that the comments and the actions by the suspect not only made him be viewed as having a weapon but also the people commenting should realize that the suspects plan ( or lack of a plan) had no positive conclusion.
Over and over I see suspects claiming to have a gun or acting as though they have a gun. It makes me wonder what they hope to accomplish by this ploy. Do they believe by pointing a cell phone at an officer this will force the officer to drop his weapon or leave? The actions people take concern me because you expect people to react rationally. If you point a weapon and tell someone to get down you dont expect them to reach in their pocket and pull out a brush or cell phone and point it towards you.
Sorry for the rambling. Please give me your thoughts on the video and especially the comments below the video.
