Was he poorly trained? Was he told that no one, absolutely no one can enter the IRS building with a gun? I'm assuming a police officer can but I don't even know that for certain.
Like I said, you don't farm out security for something like an IRS office. I'm not even a fan of allowing rent a cops to have a gun in a situation like this.
No a cop can't. In fact he broke federal law entering with his gun. The security guard asked him to leave his gun outside, that is the rule. The cop refused. The cop was in the wrong.
The video does change things-I thought it was just an interview until watching it. It doesn't show the relevant aspects of what lead up to the point of escalating the cop out at gun-point, but I tend to believe the LEO after seeing it. The question remains-was it racially motivated? Or just one more ignorant fool that hates cops regardless of race?
He is a security guard. Not sure why that would be a hate cops incident.

Nope. The officer exited when asked to leave the gun outside. The security guard is facing criminal charges for following him out with the gun to his back.

I do not know that to be the case. We do need to know before making a judgement. I always assumed police officers were permitted but since I do not know I wondered.
I wasn't even permitted to wear in my steel toe shoes.

Cops are not allowed in armed, IRS, Social Security, etc. I saw one stopped from entering a soc sec office.

Either way. The sheriff exited when asked to leave the gun outside. So the security guard was still in the wrong.
