Was I a idiot going that fast? Yes I’ll admit that but it was only for maybe a few seconds before I slowed down.
Still wrong, however, if you would have clocked me at that speed, would you have drawn your weapon at me upon approaching me? Would my reasoning be enough to give a warning, escorted me to my sons school or jail?

While the situation wasn't emergent, I would have understood. If I had kids and they were injured -
and a broken arm is significant - I would race home too.
I would tell you to slow it down; putting yourself at risk by driving at those speeds won't help you or your daughter should something unfortunate occur...........but again, I get it.
As far as drawing my weapon....
....it depends on the totality of the circumstances (..
the car you're driving, neighborhood, etc.), but not likely. I exit the vehicle with my weapon drawn often, but I also patrol a gang infested city.
