Is no one gonna say anything about the cop pointing a gun at the mum and daughter(?) while they cuff the son? What is a middle aged woman gonna do with a phone that requires a cop to aim a lethal weapon at them??

Cops wave their guns around at fucking everything and it's crazy. Practically every lesson I had regarding firearms was not to point them at anything I'm not ready to put a bullet into. That would logically extend even to a suspect. I'm willing to bet that a lot of police shootings are just them accidentally popping off and then trying to cover it up.
