I was not there...
But you have a report of a man with a gun in front of a bank [building].He isout front and his wife might work inside.That sure makes me wonder why he is there and not side greeting his wife. Maybe he is waiting for her to exit so he can kill her. Is he stalking her? Is Dan still stalking the caller? Is he there to rob the bank?
Too many possible things to cover.
You really have to ask the officers. It is only my opinion that the officers were not clearly out of line in what they did.
What about high riskvehicle stops? There is a chance that nobody is even armed but yet.. the police exercise a high degree of safety when getting people out of the car and have their guns in the direction of the car.
As with everything... we have your side only and their side from when the video starts on the 2nd officer's arrival.
Maybe you did something you did not tell us about.
But.... In your defence.. I read the 911 transcript. And if it is correct and not embellished... The call should have gone out as a suspicious person. Enough details should have been broadcast to reflect that the called did not see you as a threat. More details about what you were doing there would have been nice.
Were you sitting on the steps or looking around. Walking and pacing.. on the phone... Meeting people...
