This is a serious question.
This.
Sounds like Officer Nervebags was more than likely just trying to "exert his authoritah" by disarming this 70 year old dude, as opposed to actually being in fear of violence. There's only 3 people that truly know, and one is dead.
I don't find this acceptable at all, and IMO, Officer Nervebags needs to find employment that doesn't require him to carry a firearm and make use of force decisions.
I could be wrong, of course.
