A New York City police officer shown on video pointing his gun at a bystander who was filming a police encounter has been stripped of his gun and badge.
The incident happened Thursday at a public housing complex in Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood.
A video posted on Facebook shows two officers struggling with a man on the floor when one of them orders bystanders to move back. The video shows the officer then pulling out his gun and shouting, "I'm not playing."
Ronnie Pinkerton Jr. was in the crowd that witnessed the incident. He told CBS New York the crowd believed the officer was using excessive force.

SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: Time for NYPD to dump this chump.
 
Comment by: mickey (5/26/2016)
Judging from the downward angle on the camera shot, it looks like the guy was standing too close, and they were told to back off at least once before the gun was pulled.

Pulling the gun was probably excessive, but the crowd was probably presenting an actual problem. (and think of all the times cops walk up to cars with guns drawn, often aiming at drivers' heads, and nobody ever treats them like they've committed a deadly assault)
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. — Robert Heinlein
