at very least a sensible argument can be made that it is justifiable to issue a speeding ticket at gun point

What on Earth are you talking about? I can't find -any- justification for issuing a speeding ticket at gunpoint. The guy was an idiot, sure, but there's no justification at all for what this dumbass Jackboot did. The off-duty cop may even have been in the right for stopping the guy, or calling in the marked car that pulls up towards the end of the video. But there's no justification at all for jumping out of an unmarked car with a presented sidearm and ordering the speed-demon around. I would never dare draw my sidearm unless I was in immediate danger of life, limb, or liberty, or the situation as I read it could quickly have deteriorated towards such. But then again, I'm a Regular Joe, not one of the Only Ones. I don't get to wave my weapon in people's faces for being a dumbass, or to get their attention, or because I'm mad at them, or "just because." I have to act like a responsible adult entrusted by his friends and family with the means of dealing out Life and Death. This cop, on the other hand, gets to act like a buzzcut adolescent with a license to kill.
