I don't see this as a cowardly cop what so ever. This is a cop who most likely has had it and I don't blame him one bit. First of all , the cop was called into another possible riot situation. Everyone was yelling, screaming, etc. The cop was trying to get control of the situation before it got completely out of hand. Now when a cop tells you to leave, you leave. If a cop tells you to sit on ground, you sit on ground. The problem today is the kids have absolutely No respect for authority! (And of course that goes back to No parenting, etc). Instead of the President speaking to the black communities about following a police officers orders, he pals around with Sharpton to provoke more violence. The cop most likely got a bit nervous when two guys came up beside him and he pulled out his weapon. Yes he may have over reacted however how can you police today with what is going on. I feel bad for the cop but I do not blame him one bit. We have become a lawless society under this administration and that is who is to blame. Why be a cop today or join the military with limited rules of engagement. Look what happened when cops were told to stand down in Baltimore. This country is spiraling downhill so fast under liberalism. No rules, no parents this is what you get. God bless that cop for trying to do his job
