the problem is that he drew his gun. you are right about the kid. the mom and dad would serve her better by punishing her for her behavior not indulging her fantasy of being a civil rights protester that was beaten up by the police.
The cop was totally justified to pull the gun. See the video. The two guys flanked him, moving aggressively. The guy claims he just “tripped,” but how does a normal cop in this Post-Baltimore/Ferguson world react to two people shouting and rushing at your blind spot?
“the problem is that he drew his gun.”
Wrong.
