This cop is full of an attitude of entitlement, an "only ones" attitude. He infers that his position as a cop and former combat military should bestow a "title of nobility" upon him.
His posture is of indignity that he, one of the Praetorian Guard, is not exempt from such a law.
He is he more fearful of the consequences of enforcing unconstitutional law than man enough to say he refuses to enforce said law.
Before the new law was passed, he would gladly form a stack on a citizen's front door for some gun violation. He is a cop in New York, after all! It is just this particular one little law that has him upset because it is not fair to he and his buddies.
It did seem like the speaker does have a bit of an entitlement issue, as a police officer and combat veteran. That being said, he is very effective in calling out the blood dancers as the cowards they are, and I believe his comments also reflect and make reference to the courage of the American Revolutionaries who founded this country. I do not hold anyone's honorable employment against them, as long as they adhere to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. I have no reason to believe that the speaker is dishonorable, instead, that he is speaking for New York gun owners in general, and that his work references are meant in this case to add emphasis to what he has seen personally. After watching the speech several times, I believe he is speaking for New Yorkers in general, and not asking for any special treatment for himself. If I lived in Poughkeepsie, NY, I would be proud to have such a man share my viewpoint.

You may need to listen to his speech again - I took it as a protection speech regarding the2nd amendment,
Have you served in the Armed Forces? If you did, you would have understood the msg clearly!
