There are fine, competent policemen who are often faced with far more "highly-charged and stressful" situations and never draw their firearms. This cop was the ONLY one who felt the need to draw his, for whatever reason.
Reports of citizen-complaints against this officer have surfaced, an exorbitant number for a
two-year cop (isn't even one too many for that length of time on the force?). Sounds like this guy was a bad cop who never should have been given a badge.
