Cops do this all the time.
Yup. And its wrong for them to do it.
**Edit** Just texted with my nephew who just got out of the academy last Sept. I'm not suggesting he's some kind of legal expert. But simply that this is a datapoint on how cops are trained. In his case at the CT State Police academy. His response was:
We were never taught to gain compliance by pointing our firearm at someone who’s not a life threat, non compliant subject a taser is fine.
You could prob get her with a reckless or threatening charge for brandishing the weapon at protestors, idk what the charges would be, they are different state to state.
Having it at low ready would have been fine, but she could have killed someone. She deserves to get charged but i don’t agree with having firearms seized.
Cops can not just point their firearms at people whenever they want to gain compliance
