Here the student is threatened with death and arrested merely for openly carrying a holster.
I do not see how you can have a more clear violation of constitutional rights.
Hearing the crowd cheering as the Second Amendment activist it hauled off in handcuff is absolutely chilling.
Video at the link.
handcuff should be handcuffs
So holsters are now banned?
We conservatives need a real strategy for lawsuits for civil rights violations in cases like this.
WTF they going to do if you decide to carry your cell phone in a holster. I can see this as a national movement.
Holster’s are a big security threat, doncha know?
Especially “Assault Holsters”.....
Wearing one is a lot like flipping off a cop.
It’s not really illegal, but it really pisses them off....
So was he brandishing an invisible handgun?
Naked fascism. No wonder there has been a huge spike in “officers” being shot. When officers of the law become soldiers of a totalitarian state they deserve whatever comes their way.
if you put a cell phone in a holster and pull it out in front of a cop, you deserve whatever happens next,
"You and I can debate that all day long and you have clear arguments," Gee said, addressing his remarks to Newbern. "But, I am in charge and we are not going to do it."
Debate is a good thing. False arrest isn't.
"Newbern was released at 9:07 p.m. but was informed by police that the field investigation would be forwarded to the universitys Committee of Academic Misconduct where he could be charged with disorderly conduct."
While they are at it, they might as well provide a copy of the report to Newbern's attorneys. Just as a courtesy of course. And they should include a summary of their earnings and assets. They are going to have to provide it eventually also.
“carry your cell phone in a holster.”
Or a slide rule? Oh! Wait! WTH is a “slide rule?” Sheesh, I hated those things!
But the FR jackboot lickers are always saying that the police are "on our side" whatever that means. They're also always saying that it's only that police chiefs and bureaucrats who are anti-gun not the rank and file. I guess Newbern was falsely arrested by some of the police chiefs.
He might have had an invisible gun in it!
Conservative strategy? LOL! I will tell you where to find one though. Each and every so called conservative needs to read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for radicals” not only to understand how the enemy operates but to co-opt their tactics. How is it that Bernadine Dorn and Bill Ayers are free citizens today and people like Black Panther Bobby Rush is a congressman? These are known terrorists who practiced the rules for radicals. Conservatives need to do the same but stay within the letter of the law in doing so. What is good for the Marxist pig is good for the righteous eagle. What if they gave a culture war and nobody came?

None of the officers I worked with who were killed or wounded by gunfire in the line of duty worked for a totalitarian state.
NOT TRUE. The police will not face the slightest consequences for their actions. If there are any financial consequences at all it (which I seriously doubt), then their employer and ultimately the taxpayers will shoulder the burden.
And how many is that exactly?
If you think about it he was really detained for a thought crime.
Wear a holster? Where is the gun? There lies the problem as a policeman sees it.
