Howdy Nochowder,

If you re-read the story,he says that the cops had their hands resting on the pistols..not drawn. When cops respond to a noise complaint or a domestic violence call,they don't know what's on the other side of the door and they would be smart to have their weapons ready for anything.

I once had a cop,pull his gun on me and my family,after I drove around a street construction barrier and a city employee said that I tried to run him over,I was drove slowly around the barrier and didn't even come that close to the city employee..I was taking my daughter to the bathroom at Jack-in-the-Box,and that's where the cops surrounded me and one of them pointed a gun at me..that was way out of line,in my opinion and pissed me off mightily..was the cop justified in drawing his weapon ? Maybe..but if you're a cop,you never know whom you will face and whether or not-they are armed..or dinged out on hard drugs or wasted on alcohol.

I find that the tactical approach of the cops,was somewhat lacking,one cop should have stood back out of the possible line of fire,in order to protect his partner better..but then,I'm a veteran,with a soldier's mind-set,and can't help but to think that way.

Have a good one .....
