It's a sad story. Wonder where he will go legally from here, sue? Drop the issue if the prosecutor drops his charges. Do the police officers involved get some sort of punishment?

Something is wrong when you start to be concerned with the police as much as you are for criminals. I get the whole a few bad apples ruin the bunch, and there are lots of outstanding police people out there. Just it seems over the years the bad apples have been rising to the top of the pile.

 

All the good that cops do for people on a daily basis is all pushed to the side when a few bad cops do this kind of thing. They disgrace the rest of their profession. Instead of protecting those that use their power abusively, the rest of the good cops should be working to get them kicked out.

I was at sheetz at around 8am the other morning after dropping my girlfriend off at work...

I was open carrying my Glock 27...

 

I ran into one of the mall security guards from the mall I work at (that I am friendly with) and he was like what the hell is that..

I told him oh its a 27..

He is like why are you carrying like that..

and I said to him because I can, the more people openly carry guns the less sensitive people are to them... I want people to see guns.. see them on a daily basis.. know that people can carry them and there not be a cause for alarm... the more you hide guns.. shuffle them into the shadows.. the more it says there is something wrong with them.. a reason to hide them.. there are times and places to carry concealed... but most of the time I open carry.. I grocery shop with a gun on my hip....

 

the notion that a gun should always be concealed is one I do not agree with...if you are carrying a gun you should know how to retain your weapon... you should have some type of force training.. and if that is the case.. openly carrying a gun in a holster with a retention system providing you are aware... is IMO relatively safe..

 

I don't always agree with you but there is alot of value to the point of view I've highlighted. IMHO
