I have been following this case. It appears to be a travesty in this courtroom. Fortunately, the defense hired a court reporter to record the proceedings.

Brandishing is one of those undefined words that can be made into anything the police want.
Like loitering or stalking.
It is impossible to give a legal definition of brandishing, stalking or loitering.

Judges are GOVERMENT employees, draw a GOVERNMENT salary and will collect a GOVERNMENT pension.

The idea that they will protect the CITIZEN is laughable.

This reminds me of a wit, who had to appear in court for a petty offense and also got an indifferent judge. When he noted that the judge wasn’t listening to him at all, he changed from testifying in English to testifying in Polish.

The prosecutor looked at him with a blank stare for a moment until he realized that the judge was ignoring him as well. When the prosecutor interrupted the judge, and the judge got angry at him for disturbing him, this annoyed the prosecutor enough to drop the charge.

Well, yeah, but we’re still not a police state, because nobody’s dog got shot.

This is why open carry should be legal.

It prevents this abuse of police power.

Why did the defense need to hire a court reporter? Aren’t all court proceedings customarily recorded in an official transcript?

In what jurisdiction?
