do people keep guns in pockets?

Exactly my point. The dude has his hand in his pocket, is asked to take it out

Right- I don't know what that history is, but there is some history

You don't know the back story which makes this difficult to judge

Whats troubling to me is that it looks like the only reason the cop stopped at

How hard is it to take your hand out of your pocket?

He is holding the camera with one hand and we see his other hand in the video

cheezedawg

8/4/15 11:52am

At very beginning, cop asks him to take his hand out of his pocket. Guy says no.

Yeah, looking at the cops body language, he never really looks like he thinks

cheezedawg

8/4/15 12:11pm

Yeah, I am only addressing if he was justified in pulling his gun.
