But ... they shouldn't be blocking major intersections like that. It's stupid.

That was a dangerous spot, right under that overpass. Chunks of concrete fall off of them sometimes. And to go look and see where it fell from, someone would have to drive a couple of miles in north Dallas traffic.
That’d be a real shame if a chunk fell on those peaceful protesters next time.
Filed charges for what crime?
But ... they shouldn't be blocking major intersections like that. It's stupid.
Actually, the protest was in Frisco to start with. It spilled over into Plano.
Says someone from Georgia that doesn’t know anything about the demographics of Plano, TX.
..but a better photo would help
Former Mayor. Plano has a new Mayor now.
Agreed ... a better photo would help.
Is there some unwritten rule that all police chiefs must be black?
And while a better photo would help, you can see the two yellow markings on the side in both of these photos.
But a taser in the hands of a loony, especially where you can’t see the whole gun, is not a threat?
Let’s taste the mayor and the police chief.
Then we can resume the discussion.
Possibly, but the grip in the photo where the item is being pointed looks longer, and I cant tell for sure but it looks like a trigger finger through a trigger guard as well as grip tang and rounded or angled slide (like a walther PPK). Cant tell from the pic if I can see a hammer. The photo of the non-gun looks more squared of where the hammer would be. Also, unless the photos are reversed, one they show different sides of the items.
Didn't say that. Just saying reports of it being a gun seem to be incorrect.
That’s no surprise,,,,it is a surprise to the Plano Cops.

Plano Police Cheif Ed Drain
Brandishing a fire arm is not protected either
Yep. They were flipping off big guy.
All I know is if you want to riot/protest/congregate...have at it.
The moment your riot/protest/congregation becomes an unlawful detainment, I will use all means available to ensure neither I nor my family, become a victim to whatever you may or may not have planned (these gatherings seem to get out of hand way too fast for me to wait around to see if they become dangerous)!
Well, there was a black guy dead in police custody, and seven officers were fired.
