I suppose that if I were still working, and it was my call to give him what he wanted to get him into custody, I likely would have done the same thing. In retrospect, doing so made sure that he was in custody, and no officers were put at risk, or injured.
My real issue is, the little weasel used a 3006 on Charlie Kirk, but didn't want any bruises, or scratches for himself. But then again, what else would we expect from a coward?
