This is interesting for the background on these warrants today which are improper, and this particular case is from Denver, Colorado. And a good reminder that you need to be careful with brandishing something that could be taken as a weapon. If he would have kept the bat hidden behind the door until it was needed, he wouldn’t have got reported for threatening with a weapon (or left the bat near the door where he could quickly retrieve it). Consequently, when I lived in sketchy South Sacramento where I had my door kicked in one night while sleeping (racked a round and they fled without coming in saving their lives), I once came to the door with my gun in my hand held behind the door, and it was a plains clothes detective investigating a crime my roommate cousin might have witnessed or been involved in. That cop tried to intimidate me by mentioning my work schedule and job indicating he looked into me, which I found irritating, intensifying my gaze. And when he wanted to give me a business card to give to my cousin, I told him I had to set something down and his eyes went big and he got a bit sheepish as he realized what I was probably setting down. The point being, no brandishing crime occurred, and I was capable of defending myself quickly, all without showing my hand, literally.
