No that is not what I meant.

If a CHL had pulled a gun on a drunk who was urinating on a wall I'm thinking they would be taking the ride downtown. The police are taught a use of force continuum that they are supposed to follow. I still say it was a power trip for the officer.

I can see headline if it had turned out bad - - - "Cop shoots man for urinating on wall."

From what I read the cop was wrong to pull his gun for a misdemeanor offense. From what I have been told an off duty officer just has to "do something" if he witnesses a crime. Sounds like a power trip on the part of the cop to me.
