I wouldn’t let them search my stuff either. The guy does have a point. He was a jerk about it from the get go and that’s why it was such a problem. These BPs are just trying to do their job, and I can see that they were irritated, but pulling out the weapon and the tools to do stuff to his car was way over the top. They ended up on the wrong side, and that’s kind of sad.

I think beating the guy up 8 hours later was over the top, don’t you?
Actually I thought they were way too casual. Almost to the point of placing theirself in too much position of disadvantage. Leaning on arms in the window, etc. They were at tragic risk of a man who shows he’s a nut. He could have easily killed one if he wanted to. And they behaved that way to appease nuts who try to bait them.
They were good guys. Hope they always remain safe in their thankless job.
