Don't know how it turned up but it seemed a little extreme.
Stopped them in a very aggressive manner and I'm sure it scared the crap out everyone.
Officers I've known and dealt with over the years have been very professional but I'm wondering if, due to budget cuts, that they are using younger and more inexperienced people.
Sounds exactly like this situation from about 1 year ago:

Clearly they are trying to intimidate people.
