I guess it was the last pack of MENTOS and the cop just had to have them.

Yeah, he did, the very first post 12 minutes after the OP was an apologist.

Some people think guns are an acceptable solution for every minor issue.

Don't ya know. Law Enforcement is part of the Deep State now. It's unpatriotic to support cops these days. They are Stormtroopers according to the Trump Admin.

I hope that cop either loses his job or is reprimanded severely. I normally support the police, WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT, this guy was way over the line.


I hope that poor guy gets enough money out of this to buy a truckload of Mentos.
The cop was to blame.I think i would have been speechless too if I saw a cop pull his gun on what he thought was someone stealing a pack of gum? Geez!

I believe that the average citizen would go to jail for brandishing a firearm, no? Why should this officer get a free pass, because he apologized? Would an apology work for the average citizen?

I hope you're proud of yourself, Pilgrims. It's people like you who give Trump supporters (not that they need a lot of help in that regard) a bad name.
Dishonest Obamabots like you give liberals a bad name, not that they need any help. If you were in any way honest you'd admit he was right. If the customer had been black there would be protests, riots, CNN/MSNBC/Huffington would be running the story 24x7 for days. But he wasn't, so there won't be.

In this case, Mentos is the fresh blood...maker.

Much ado about nothing. Good thing the customer wasn't black or the taxpayers would be on the hook for a fat settlement.
Oh well, the cop apologized. All is well. Pointing a gun at someone over a pack of Mentos is just another day in law enforcement.

Anyone who is an apologist for this off duty officer is a fool.

And then with the race baiting and you wonder why more blacks don't support conservatives.

Duh..
