I thought the officer handled himself and the situation very well, other than the shooting in the head part, I thought that was a little much, "engage you and shoot you" would have been better. I am sure this will be a great discussion. I am a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment and I think we have a ridiculous culture with ridiculous assumptions that led to a time where we cant carry a long rifle without fear. Would I carry around a long rifle? No, but I do believe in ones right to do so if they choose. I can see were it could be justified like the officer points out but all in all the officer did well and made some very valid points considering the current day and age.

At one point they're told they are free to go. The officer in the back ground still has a weapon drawn. They've admitted the guys haven't done anything wrong except for making poor judgement. Yet we still have an officer with her weapon drawn.

It sounded much like a lecture at the end, but then again the fellas weren't voicing much of an opinion or asking too many questions so I think it may have been more of a one sided conversation than a lecture. Honestly I wouldn't have engaged in a debate, I would have left at "you're free to go." I'll have a discussion with anyone, but the one officer with her weapon still drawn would make me very nervous.
4:50...that one kind of irked me a little. The officer asked if he could go into his pocket for his ID and the guy declined. "Oh we're going to play that game, huh?" That seemed a little over the top. I wouldn't let him in my pocket under any circumstance but I wouldn't have been in that situation, either.
