When those who are charged with enforcing our laws (LEO's) cannot obey such laws without resorting to thuggery against law-abiding citizens, they become targets and deserve the retaliation that is sure to come. It doesn't need to come to this. Just obey the oath taken/given when accepting the job. This goes for an LEO, our military, FBI, and so on. Report for duty, lawfully do your duty, and leave the personal BS at home.
These are becoming common and that's awesome because this is exactly how to stop the harassment. Yes, lawsuits are the answer. However, one point is being missed in EVERY one of these examples.
Claiming rights is happening and that's good. Sometimes folks even cite code to officers and that's good too. Surprisingly though, folks always forget to combat the "we got a man with a gun call" (in this case it's a "pointing it at people excuse") with "I have a right to face my accuser so WHO exactly called you and accused me? What EXACTLY did they accuse me off?"
I submit that those accusers need to be sued right along with the JBTs because they are just as at fault!
LEO has to learn to tell those callers that simply carrying arms isn't a crime and reporting it AS a crime will result in their own arrest for filing a false complaint.
Or maybe gun rights folks in this area should start calling in with "man with a gun" complaints every time they see a cop out there openly displaying a pistol.....I'd bet dispatchers would explain to callers that no crime is taking place in THAT context!
Just one thing. At 8:24 into the video, the cop offers to let the guy walk home WITH HIS RIFLE and as soon as he walked into his door, would simply drive away and end the confrontation. If the guy with the rifle could not agree to this solution, then he probably was deliberately creating an incident and deserved to be tazed.
Just sue the scumbag LEO's and buy a belt-fed thirty to carry around.
we will all be dead by the time these so called lawsuits come to fruition.
Either shoot back, go in a maniple or leave your weapons home.
This is illustrative of a couple points:
~More than four decades ago in the small Ohio town in which I grew up I would-as a teenager...under 18-grab Dad's 20 gauge Ithaca double, a couple boxes of shells, then walk through the streets of the development, then past the junior and high school buildings towards a nearby woods where blackbirds offered a nice target as they flew in to roost.
I'd shoot up those two boxes of shells than walk back home.
I did this many times and was never even questioned by police...
~The notion of a 'crime' being any arrangement of words on paper duly enacted by legislature, even if there are no specified elements of a crime against person and/or property...how did that come about?
~And so, a rally is to be held in protest against the unlawful arrest, a peaceful rally according to the news story. This redress of grievances will fall on deaf ears as did those directed at King George. Patrick Henry recognized that the only thing that will preserve Liberty is downright force...that to give it up brings ruination.
A peaceful rally in this specific circumstance is one thing.
How peaceful should future protest rallies be when the police continue to have unlawfully injured or killed innocents?
@Anonymous: " folks always forget to combat the "we got a man with a gun call" (in this case it's a "pointing it at people excuse") with "I have a right to face my accuser so WHO exactly called you and accused me? What EXACTLY did they accuse me off?""
You have the right to confront your accuser AT TRIAL. So, if you are arrested and prosecuted, you'll get your chance, but even then, it will most likely only be the arresting officer, since in most jurisdiction, calls to the police can be made anonymously.
