Police Checkpoint Proceedures

I know it is not clear in the picture but none of what you posted allows him to put another person's life in danger by pointing a loaded weapon at them. His life is no more important than the passenger of the car.

I agree.

Exactly how are the threats of today different than the past?

Communication is better so we now know about them?

None of us were there, facing the threats that officer was that day, or everyday. 1 fed agent and 3 local PD w ere injured just prior to that. None of the critics here face the dangers that officer does every single day, the threats against him and his family, and against his brothers. I applaud him for making the hard decision to do what was necessary, safe (finger is clear of the trigger), and legally right, to ensure he made it home at the end of the day. Most of the critics here have never made that decision nor have the balls/ability/mindset necessary to do that. Are local cops becoming more militaristic? Of course! Look at the current threats they face today. If you want to flap your gums about their tactics then take it up with their chiefs, not the guy on the street everyday just trying to provide for his family. Most of you who talk the most shit have done the least...

Who are the threats that you mention? According to government entities these are currently the biggest threats to the USA.
A whole list of people who:

Expressions of libertarian philosophies (statements, bumper stickers, believe in civil liberties) Second Amendment-oriented views (NRA or gun club membership, holding a CCW permit)
Survivalist literature (fictional books such as "Patriots" and "One Seconed After" are mentioned by name)
Self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies)
Fear of economic collapse (buying gold and barter items)
Religious views and practices such as Christianity concerning the book of Revelation (apocalypse, anti-Christ)
Expressed fears of Big Brother or big government
Homeschooling
Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties

Thank you for being the prime example of my point. You have no idea what that officer is doing and yet you want to criticize him, ignorantly, for doing what he must. Ignorance must truly be bliss...

The irony is; I don't think you got his...

How do you know he's doing what he must, if you have no idea what the officer is doing?

Actually I was criticizing you for trotting out the standard talking points.

But the again if you really think cops protect people when they are sleeping, well that's a lot of kool-aid. If that was really the case well no one needs guns because the cops will protect you.

Uh huh sure.

Talk about ignorance is bliss

Police in Colorado are protected by law, so they aren't charged with "menacing with a deadly weapon". Really rich people are not so concerned with with roadblocks as they take helicopters over that shit. Oh wait, is that a drone coming for us? LMAO
