Disturbing video of a Washington State motorcyclist’s Aug. 16 confrontation with a King County Sheriff’s detective who approached with a drawn gun and did not immediately identify himself has gone viral and raised public second-guessing to a fever pitch.
When the Sheriff’s Department finally saw the video on Aug. 28, the detective was immediately placed on leave, and according to Sheriff John Urquhart, an investigation has been launched. Urquhart spoke to Liberty Park Press Tuesday, explaining that stopping someone for reckless driving typically doesn’t, nor shouldn’t, involve a drawn sidearm. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
