Perhaps I am misinterpreting his letter...
Wilson confirmed that Steve had a firearm drawn on him (not "pointed" at him, he made an excuse for that). He confirmed that this was done "because they were going to disarm him". I saw nothing about this not being anything other than part of the training they received.
Wilson confirmed that OPD will *never* "get used to" (accept) citizens carrying firearms. I repeat *never*. Again that is a part of the training they received.
Wilson stated that we need to stop doing this "because we might get *SHOT*.
The *only* issue Wilson had with the entire encounter was the main thug's verbal interactions with Steve. NOT the stop, NOT the disarming, NOT the firearm out of the holster. In fact he accepted all of these action from 3 cops that "were fully trained in OC encounters".
Yeah, I guess we just need to be patient, civil, "open a dialogue" while they are being trained to stop all lawful OC'ers, draw a weapon on them, disarm them. :what:
