It was a silly set of circumstances really.

Was travelling with a friend somewhere a bit east of Chicago in the early hours of the morning and we were lost on the way to the hotel - pulled into one place where the directions ended but it was all closed up so my friend lazily drove over a verge to the next place rather than going all the way back out and around (which a cop saw from a distance) and were poking around at the back of another place when this cop turned up and thought we were breaking into the place. He was a bit terse and not completely clear in what he was saying and I thought he was asking for ID so started reaching into my pocket at which point he pulled his gun (was actually intending we went back to his vehicle then he wanted to see ID). I was wearing combat style trousers as well which probably didn't help.

Once he realised we were visitors he was completely different though heh.

Glad everything was cleared up :)
But what a story to tell :)

You don't know why this is mentioned on the BBC :confused:

Kerachi (population perhaps as much as 300) :confused:
Birmingham :confused:

Yup, I guess you are right, not displaying a licence plate on your car does seem like a pretty trivial offence. Fortunately guns are not common in the UK :rolleyes:

Well okay I suspect I know why it was mentioned on the BBC. But I suspect in the grand scheme of things it was a trivial every day event that happens thousands if times per year.

You'll notice that in these cases guns tend to come out when people don't comply.

Imagine thinking its perfectly normal for someone to be pepper sprayed whilst having their hands up and clearly terrified. He's given how long to comply with his hands in the air again?

Firstly the guns are drawn before we even know whats happened. He's then told by the officer her should be scared to get out of his vehicle?

Why? the officers gave him a minute to get out of his car whilst they were literally telling him he should be scared to get out and he had guns pointing straight at him.

LMAO ok, perfectly reasonable response from the police there. I imagine if they had shot him instead of used spray you would justify that aswell.

"later released without charge"

Have you seen his video of it?
Clearly a setup.

And again. It's the law in the US to do what a officer tells you to do.
It's a very easy concept.

Was interesting in that though helpful enough when he realised we weren't from around there and lost but also made it quite plain he wasn't really there to be helpful - it was like he was going out of the way doing us a huge favour in pointing us in the right direction after everything was cleared up.
 
I have seen the video. He keeps his hands up at all times because we know how trigger happy the police are. How exactly has he set that up? Did he spray the pepper spray on himself?

They literally told him he should be scared to get out of his vehicle whilst he had two guns drawn on him. LMAO you just dont even try to hide it anymore do you.

He is doing as he is told though. How you are still allowed in this forum I'll never know

Yeah, I mean ignoring a police command 16 times in an already shortened edited video is "doing as he is told". How many times does the officer have to ask before you consider it to be a failure to comply, 100, 500?

If he goes to remove his belt to get out the car they'll probably shoot him.

Which is exactly what he said he was worried about and given he was told he should be scared then frankly i dont blame him. He was smart enough to keep his hands visible to not give the police a reason to open fire.
 
Sorry Deuse but it looks like youre wrong again.

"Officer Joe Gutierrez was terminated from his employment after an investigation determined he did not follow policies of the local police department, the town of Windsor, Virginia said in a statement here Sunday."

Whoops.

A knee jerk reaction by the Windsor Police Department.
Lets see what happens in a month or two.

Now we can get back on topic.
