Its completely unacceptable. Police don't pull over drivers for speeding with a gun drawn. However, anyone in Florida may be armed and you cannot reasonably argue that the drivers are cool headed.
This overreaction is unprofessional, dangerous, and thuggish.
We have a law that we may not be required to quarter soldiers, perhaps a better law would have been to make it illegal to enter private property without consent armed.

I believe that a warrant gives them this right. But the give a bit more nuance there is a difference in entering armed vs drawn. We should definitely have a high standard for when weapons are allowed to be drawn. It is in fact the police who are in a position of power, so they have the higher standard to meet.
- BurningFrog 6y agoWith a pulled over car you can see the driver, and part of US driver's ed is to keep your hands visible to the officer. When you break down a door, you can't know what's waiting on the other side.
