I first watched this last night and have been unable to post until now.
More information can be found at OhioCCW.org, it's forum thread, and the response from Canton PD via the Canton Repository where you can read this:
"I think it's important for citizens to understand that the behavior demonstrated on the video is wholly unacceptable, and it violates many of our rules, our regulations and standards we demand of our officers," Chief Dean McKimm said Thursday.Chief Dean McKimm never clarifies whether Canton PD JBT Daniel Harless violated the many "rules regulations and standards" of not getting caught abusing the local citizenry or leaving him alive.
Perhaps, Canton PD just has not received the memo regarding the current ROE from Pima County SWAT and that citizen should feel lucky- especially considering starting at 08:15 into the video, JBT Daniel Harless states:
"Right now, that shit you just pulled I could blast you right in the mouth."And then at 08:50:
"I am so close to caving in your god damn head!"Then 09:05
"You want me to pull mine and stick it to your head!?!At over four minutes later starting at 13:29:
I tell you what I should have done. As soon as I saw your gun I shoulda taken two steps back, pulled my Glock 40, and just put ten bullets in your ass and let you drop.Yes, some would consider such lucky, but then again, many have had such cowards pull them over and know exactly what these Jack-Booted Thugs deserve- just like their political Masters who have let them loose.
And I wouldn't of lost any sleep. Do you understand me?
And he would have been a nice witness as I executed you because you're stupid!
