Listen as a citizen exercising his 2nd amendment right to legally bear arms was violently assaulted by Philadelphia Police with no cause.
In Pennsylvania carrying a gun is not reasonable suspicion of a crime and not justification for a stop and search or a detainment.

Here is the link to the audio of the arrest/detainment/assault.

Here is a video that appears to be from the same source:
Who shall guard the guards

Well, when you do this in a place where the law is not well versed in the rights of its citizens in issues like this...
You will get a lot more attention and unreasonable enforcement every time...
But you have to admire this guys guts...
Wonder how the case will develop...
Wuldn’t it b e great if the police understood the law? This officer obviously needs “further training”. What a jerk.
Much of the time in PA the cops are not even aware of the frigging laws.
A few big time lawsuits will make law classes mandatory.
Every policeman who opened his/her mouth in that incident needs to be terminated and NEVER work in law enforcement ever again. I have never even heard of anything that bad in this country before. Awful.
If he was a democRAt it would be several be new Escalades.
A nation gone mad.
The policemen are completely out of control. Is this a court case yet?
But, but, cops are your friends right??? They wouldn’t take your guns away.
Two thoughts. First, he’s lucky he wasn’t walking his dog. We know how that would’ve ended. Second, aren’t police supposed to deescalate “hostile” situations? Who was the one escalating that situation? It certainly wasn’t the citizen.
“Who shall guard the guards”?
If you would settle for “Who shall discipline the guards”, the answer is LAWYERS ! ! !
All of these police officers are vile! This is the caliber of thugs unions are producing for all of us. Do these officers deserve a full retirement paid for by the very same people they oppress?
Any word what the outcome of this was? Around 14:14 it sounds as though they make a decision, but it is hard to make out. In the end it sounds like he says to put in report he was not cooperating (which also isn’t a crime in itself as long as you aren’t directly resisting.)
What is also disturbing is it sounds as though, from minute 8 to 14 they are coordinating the story in the background and things like saying his hands were in his pockets when he and one other person says they weren’t.
IMHO, people, including cops, who can’t put a sentence together without every other word being the F bomb, are inherently stupid.
Of course, in most of California it is a felony to carry a knife vs the far less serious offense of carrying a gun. Both of which are protected by the 2nd of it is a weapon, and if tools, none of the officer's business.
What is false arrest going for in civil court these days? The figure $10,000,000 seems to pop into my head.
Oh, and a few cops finding new careers.
Post of the day! Thank you.
