Wasilla man pulls gun on State Troopers during traffic stop. Surprisingly it's NOT Track Palin.

A Wasilla man was arrested Saturday evening after he allegedly pointed a firearm at an Alaska State Trooper during a traffic stop in the Knik-Fairview area. 

According to an online dispatch, troopers pulled over a gray Dodge Neon for a moving violation near Knik Goose Bay Road and Clapp Street at around 10:48 p.m. last night. During the traffic stop, a passenger identified as 31-year-old Jerome W. Orton, exited the vehicle and drew a concealed firearm which he then pointed at a trooper. 

Another trooper who was nearby was able to quickly disarm the man. Troopers say Orton then resisted arrest, causing minor injuries to the two officers. He was eventually subdued and taken to Mat Su Pretrial on charges of assaulting an officer, weapons misconduct, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. His bail was set at $25,000 plus a third party custodian.

This is usually where I would say, "Just another day in the NRA's America."

But to be fair it's really just another day in freaking Wasilla, Alaska where this kind of thing is as common as domestic abuse, alcoholism, and accidental death.

Three things that are also extremely common in the Valley as well.

"I didn't do nothing man!" Video captures the murder of Sam DuBose at the hands of the University of Cincinnati police. (NSFW.)

UC police officer Ray Tensing's body camera video clearly shows that he committed "murder" when he shot and killed an unarmed black motorist at a traffic stop, prosecutor Joe Deters said Wednesday. 

The shocking video shows Tensing grab the outside door latch on 43-year-old Sam DuBose's car after DuBose couldn't produce a driver's license. 

Tensing tells DuBose to take his seat belt off. 

As Tensing pulls the door open a few inches, DuBose pulls it close and says, "I didn't do nothing, man." 

As DuBose turns the key and revs the engine, Tensing pulls his gun, shouts, "Stop! Stop!" and shoots DuBose in the head through the open window. 

Showing the video publicly for the first time, Deters called it an "asinine, senseless shooting," and announced that a grand jury had indicted Tensing for murder.

I've watched this video about three times now, and there is really no other way to interpret other than a police officer becoming upset with a non-compliant driver and then firing at his head to keep him from "getting away."

But there was no place for that young man to go. The officer had his name, had his license plate number, and there were other police on the scene.

I don't even think Fox News could spin this in the cop's favor.

Personally I hope they throw the book at this cop, and then use this video as a training tool for rookie cops to teach them what NOT to do.
