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.
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.
"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 university’s 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.
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!
Wear a holster? Where is the gun? There lies the problem as a policeman sees it.
In effect, he was arrested for not having a gun.
Just think of what would have happened to him if he had held up a poster with a gun on it!
Our nation is just so screwed....
The guy could have been thinking of going to Starbucks and using the holster as a cup holder.
WTH is wrong with these officers? They didn’t perceive any real danger but drew down on the guy anyway?
What if...wait for it...What if one of them accidentally discharged their firearm, striking one or more persons with severe injuries or killing them?
Actions have consequences.
Bozo’s...no wait... Ass Clowns!
SUE, SUE, SUE!!!

Do we see any pattern here? Is there a theme to this?
College campuses have become nothing but havens for pu**ies. Flush ‘em all. They’re utterly useless now.
Hmmmm....
I wonder what I would be charged with if they searched me and found:
the empty holster on my hip, my CCW license, and my .380 in my back pocket?
