This seems like a double standard. What do you all think?
Off-duty officer [strike]points[/strike] BRANDISHES gun at a man during road rage incident in Virginia Beach
If, and that's important, if the enraged person was the off-duty officer, then he was in the wrong. If the other guy was the road-rage person, then the officer apparently was defending himself. Even so, I wonder what the outcome would have been if it had anyone other than an off-duty cop.
Off-duty officer [strike]points[/strike] BRANDISHES gun at a man during road rage incident in Virginia Beach
An off-duty law enforcement officer pointed a gun at another man during a road rage incident in Virginia Beach, police say.
Multiple witnesses called 911 to report a man pointing a gun at another man, said Officer Tonya Pierce, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Police Department.
The drivers were traveling northbound on Dam Neck Road approaching London Bridge Road when one driver pulled in front of the other and stopped. The two exchanged words and a threat may have been made, police said. Witnesses said both men were standing outside of their vehicles when the off-duty officer pointed his weapon, Pierce said.
"We think someone cut someone else off," Pierce said. "I'm not sure who cut who off."
Police arrived and interviewed both parties involved. No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made, Pierce said. Both individuals involved were allowed to leave the scene, Pierce said. ... She declined to identify the officer or which law enforcement agency he works for.
