"Newly released body cam video of an insane police stop -- where the suspect threatens to shoot a cop -- shows both restraint by the officer and how wildly different traffic stops can be based on the color of a suspect's skin. The driver, Merak Burr, was instantly uncooperative. Cops notice there's a gun in his vehicle ... a loaded, Beretta 9MM semi-automatic handgun on the front passenger seat -- He refuses to put his hands on the steering wheel-- He refuses to get out of the car-- He puts his hand on his gun-- He twice threatens to shoot the cop-- He closes the car door and speeds away."
The cops displayed the utmost restraint and professionalism, they allowed the driver to leave the scene and arrested him later once the guy had a chance to cool off and act more responsibly....This happened in Ohio, where another guy (Casey Goodson) was shot and killed by the police; maybe if Casey wasn't mouthing off to the officer and threatening to shoot, oh wait!
