Man, that's terrible. Honestly, while the response might seem extreme, I don't think law enforcement should be above the law when no emergency is involved. If you're driving at very high speeds and crossing lanes back and forth while going twice the speed the other drivers are, it is creating dangerous situations. So it's not wrong to consider him a danger. As one of the youtube comments there said, doing 120mph in gusty weather and traffic, you deserve more than a gun to the face. Where I live, doing something like that is a mandatory $10,000 fine, vehicle impoundment, and license suspension.

That said, having driven through Florida a lot with my friends there, all I know about FHP is that they are, by and large, highly retentive about everything. Still, I'd rather they be retentive about someone going twice the speed limit for no reason than about someone doing an extra few MPH on a clear stretch of road.
