We used to call this:
Armed Robbery
Using a Forearm during the commission of a Violent Felony
Unlawful Transfer of a Firearm
not to mention the clear and blatant violation of title 18 section 241,242. The Police are not your friends , they are tyrants doing the bidding of the Ruling Class. If it were me, A formal Criminal complaint would have been filed right before the Civil Lawsuit for Deprivation of Rights. But then again The jack booted thug was just doing his job and following orders, where have we heard that excuse before??
>>Using a Forearm during the commission of a Violent Felony
I’ve got an ulna, THIS IS A STICKUP!
Over the years I have been summons 4 times to jury duty...The first was in Federal Court in Downtown Detroit,
The second was Macomb county court in Mt. Clemens (I was excused from sitting jury there as it had been less than an year since I had sat in Federal Court. (your not obligated to sit more than once per year on jury duty)
The third time was District court in Sterling Heights Michigan,
The 4th time was in Lapeer County Michigan (had a good reason for the judge to let me off duty)
Tempers run high in court rooms and I am all for no guns allowed in those area's...I personalty saw one fight break out in the hall way at Lapeer. (I was sitting in the hall waiting to be called as a witness).It ended up with a little girl about 6 being knocked down on the floor because the 2 women fighting didn't give a damn about the kid and she belong to one of them. Sure glad neither one of them had a gun...
Any one that has spent time around courts would be very leery of anyone toting a gun within the building....If you have ever watched the TV show on what really goes on in court cases and the fights that break out would be a fool to want anyone carrying a gun in those instances....It is not an unusual request....I have to say the same for going into a police station packing just to make a point....
It is not unreasonable to tell the person to lock their gun in their car.
Too many people looking for their 15 minutes of fame would do what this guy did....he was being stubborn and unreasonable.....
“If it were me, A formal Criminal complaint would have been filed right before the Civil Lawsuit for Deprivation of Rights.”
As I recall, Joel filed charges against Palmer immediately after the incident. This arrest appears to me to be a blatant attempt to coerce Joel into dropping charges and the civil suit.
