12-34hom,
"I think you're going find out that this will come back and bite you in the ass down the road."
If it does, there is certainly something very wrong at work here & will garner much more monetary contributions.
"Regardless of you're appearance or demeanor, a police officer can't know what's going on in you're mind or anyone Else's for that matter. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute."
According to the account, which I have no reason to doubt, our young gent was perusing books, while conducting a perfectly legal activity & I have no desire to put myself in the shoes of a cop. mvpel was doing nothing illegal in the least, & somehow we're supposed to "think like a cop" & jack this man up for a legal activity!?
No, nope, no thanks, & that's a police state = being jacked for legal activities. The LEOs had no business even asking him any questions, let alone what transpired. Try putting yourself in the shoes of the citizen.
Would one also expect to be "arrested/detained" for merely walking down the street?
Oops! the guy had a gun, it was perfectly legal, he was not acting in any overt method, so what the hell was the point of the detention?
"In the times and political climate we are subject to for all the reasons we are aware of, some will over react; on both side of this issue."
I heartily submit, 12-34hom, that we are not "in such times" except by those high-handed actions perpetrated by LEOs who over-extend their "powers" through their own over-reaction to perfectly legal activities.
If an action is legal, y'all can just bail out of our business, stay out of it & leave us the hell alone.
Got it?
& enough said.
