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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
