First off I am a combat vet too. I will not judge the officers involved in that incident because I was not there. I have no idea how the man initially acted towards officers, but I am sure their reactions were based on the safety of the public and their own lives. He was obviously out of whack enough to make their 'hackles stand up'. Any mistake, if any, was made out of caution. From the videos I viewed - HE WAS A *****!
