In the body camera footage, which led to a six-figure settlement late last year, it is not clear why Pham pulled his gun. [More]
Because he's an "Only One"?

Minneapolis has a SERIOUS problem with twitchy officers...
Because his computer said she's a CCW license holder, and he thought she might have a gun with her.
She won her settlement because she wasn't armed and wasn't a threat (not that being armed is automatically a threat), and the officer drawing down on her was unreasonable.
But if you or I had done that, we'd still be in prison.
My question is, what would have been his response if she had been armed? Make like Canton (Ohio) PD officer Daniel Harless: "I shoulda took two steps back, pulled my Glock 40 and just put 10 bullets in your [expletive] and let you drop. And I wouldn't have lost any sleep"?
