How would any of you of handled this?

Hey man, calm down...Don't give yourself an aneurysm.

But in all seriousness...I havent' read this entire thread and rarely do when it comes to matters like this because of all the experts generally...I would like to point out that no one really knows what happened prior to video running and no one really knows how or in what way the call was reported to law enforcement or how it was dispatched to law enforcement. Take that for what you will...maybe just a little food for thought.

Everyone has their opinions and their rights to them. I also, like Cstone, have never heard of this club of law enforcement officers going out just to revoke rights...if it exists they may have not trusted me enough to join. Also, it's better to win the battle in court later than be harmed no matter how wrong the officer is, so I have to jump on Cstone's thought again and say complain later, speak to a lawyer later, avoid getting hurt and going to jail now. Sometimes these situations can only be escalated and we should all try to avoid that...so some additional food for thought.

So, Kev, how do you as a LEO feel about asshats like this that seem to be obviously baiting officers by "dangling a carrot", so to speak, just so they can make a video spouting about rights and other BS? I'm all for people exercising their rights, and I'm all for LEO's knowing about those rights and recognizing them, but LEO's still have to respond to MWAG calls regardless. But a-holes like this guy only hurt the cause for both sides, IMO.

Just curious about your perspective from your side of the issue.
