Maryland Trooper Pulls Gun on Biker

[stangposse]

I saw this video this morning, hope its not a double post, but its really disturbing. Is this totally necessary??? Feel free to move to smackdown.

Video: Motorcyclist arrested for recording cop brandishing gun with helmet cam [*UPDATED] — Autoblog

Edit: Didn't see the cop car behind him.

Now I would've shot back at that 2 bit hoe!!!!!

I'd like to know what he was pulled over for. He appeared he was going to try and make a move as he was backing the bike up as the undercover officer was getting out of the car!

 

[swoosh_stang]

Bah, he never pointed the gun at the guy and there was uniform in a patrol car pulled up right behind the bike.

This is not disturbing.

Hmmm no badge... Nice.

Unless the cop was dressed as a civilian trying to entrap the motorcyclist for something... whoknows. :shrug:

 

[motoman991]

The cop is just a little guy. He needs the gun.

 

[zak88lx]

Not a big deal. :shrug:
In our City it's very common for Police to have there gun drawn at there side for any traffic stop.

I guess he wanted the biker to know that he was a cop since he was unmarked, however he could have just taken his badge out. The biker wasn't running and there was no reason to act like a prick on a power-trip.

I carry a gun, that doesnt make me a cop. Not trying to be a douche to you, but trying to make a point. If i had a random person pile out of their car with their gun drawn, more than likely ill be reaching for mine aswell. Granted, im taking the police car behind the bike out of the equation and i dont know what happened prior. I played the movie over and over trying to see if the officer had his badge around his belt and i didnt see it. Every officer i see around here who open-carrys in civilian clothes has their badge on their belt.

A friend of the guy this happened to called The Eliot in the Morning show last week and was telling him about this.

Looks about normal cops over reacting if that cop hadnt have been the and that was me that guy would have had a motorcycle on top of him!

Hell if the guy didnt notice the cop behind him that could have been bad. Self defense by motorcycle!

Thats was my thinking. All he had to do was flash his badge. Why risk another chase or a shootout??

He was speeding and popped a few wheelies. He probably started backing up because some pissed off maniac pulled a gun on him.

Exactly what I was thinking. I haven't had a gun pulled on me, but I'm pretty sure if I did I'd back up too. That shit is scary.

Also if the marked trooper was right behind him, there is absolutely no reason for the plain clothes officer to even get involved in the situation.

 

[BajaBoy]

power tripping lil Bish.

that idiot had no reason to get involved, let alone leave his UNMARKED car in the middle of traffic w/o lights AND have his gun drawn without a badge lol.

hope he gets fired.

He seems pissed, and for good reason. If you've ever driven in Maryland chances at that you've seen a bike zoom by you at 120 mph weaving in and out of traffic. The bikers in Maryland are very reckless.

wait is it in his job description to get pissed and take it personally?

or to enforce the law?

I'm not saying he has the right to do what he just did, I'm just giving my opinion to why he may have done what he did.

If everyday you drive home from work and there are bikers that will fly past you at 120 mph and scare the shit outta you because they came outta no where, it would get on your nerves. That's all. This guy is probably taking action against one of many bikers in Maryland because he feels that the biker is part of the people who do what they do.



The guy had no badge and no uniform, looks more like a pissed off civilian.

I watched the second video...If a car hauls ass up right next to me like that I'm sure as hell going to back up and get away.

Street Bikers are reckless everywhere.
