Based on his statements alone I would have taken him out of the car to make sure he was not under the influence. Then search his car. He really is lucky to be alive.
The guy didn't reach for the knife, the knifie was in a door side panel. Nothing was said about or if anything was under the seat. Like I said, cops have too much power. Funny though. I mean I know a few people that have been out right threatened, and the police say there is nothing they can do, but some stupid traffic cop arrests a guy for talking smack and reaching under his seat. I mean wtf. I'm sorry that ain't right. I mean just cause a cop did it doesn't make it right. Should the cop have made the guy get out of the car? YEs to see if he was reaching for a weapon. If he was and after those comments then sure maybe. But it's a thin line, something which seems to be overlooked all the freaking time.

Like I said, statements like that are what makes police more and more disliked. Cops are no different than anyone else, I mean if a cop gets shot or killed oh my god, let's make a huge deal out of it, but if a civilian gets killed, eh, well look into it. Thing is, POLICE SIGN UP FOR THE JOB. Some average joe on the street doesn't. So cops are nothing special. But the mentality is oh, sure they are above the rest of us. I'm sorry, If I wanted to tell a cop at a traffic stop that I laugh at shot cops or that bank robbery in early 90 down in cali was bad ass, I shouldn't have to deal with the cop arresting me. Sure I was out of line but that's my right.
Phobic, If you were a police officer would you not assume this dude was high or drunk making such statements? I don't care either way as I find humor in the story. This dude probably deep down wanted to be a LEO but couldn't hack it and in return holds a gruge.
I'd like to nominate the entire city of Vancouver to the Idiot of the Day thread. Setting fire to and looting your city always makes a fine coping mechanism for a hockey team losing a game.
Man shoots finger off in wart removal (hold muh beer alert)
A British man has shot his own finger off in an effort to get rid of a painful wart.
Sean Murphy, a security guard from Yorkshire, blew most of his middle finger off with a shotgun after drinking several pints of beer, The Sun newspaper reported.
The 38-year-old was charged with possessing an illegal firearm after the incident but walked free yesterday after a judge handed him a suspended sentence.
Murphy told the Doncaster Magistrates' Court how he had lived with the wart for five years and had tried several removal creams over the years to no avail.
He added that the wart "was hurting a lot and causing my finger to bend".
"It was as big as my thumbnail. I'd been to the doctors with it and tried all sorts of things but it wouldn't go," he was quoted saying.
