DGP - that is ONE side of the story - and I doubt that any 'witnesses' would ever dare contradict it.
What the POLICE want, especially when they are dealing with ANYBODY over even trifling matters - is for NOBODY to be armed, except themselves.
Simply unacceptable. Many of these ASSHOLES that wear police uniforms are sociopathic, lying thugs - and the ONLY reason they are 'cops' is because of the 'absolute life and death control' that they can exercise over others.
Some pretty damn scary bastards wear the uniform.
You sir, seem to have had the privilege in life to never be a 'target' of theirs.
I have and still am - and have seen FIRST HAND their TOTAL disregard of the law.
When a cop LAUGHS at you when you state, in the presence of OTHER COPS, that he is "Under Citizens" arrest - in FULL STATUTORY COMPLIANCE as provided to the Citizens of Texas - you've got one HELL OF A PROBLEM - with police that have contempt for the law.
Sorry, DGP - I don't go along with the mantra on this type of stuff - and have seen the police LIE, under oath, way too many times. It starts in the Academies in Texas (including the highly touted one at Texas A&M) - and gets worse from there.
MANY of the 'younger ones' are absolutely the worst human beings I have ever run into - real bastards.
I really AM thankful when I encounter a DECENT POLICEMAN - because they are an extremely rare breed today.
