Three things:
1. That’s New Orleans, so they couldn’t be CHiPs.
2. I’m glad the rest of the country isn’t ruled by the Napoleonic Code. It’s anti-human.
3. How did that video become public and who filmed it?
Sorry, the CHP were imported under the aegis of a declared Federal disaster:
Into this mess stepped the Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association – and nobody else – to put a stop to the seizures, and a federal court judge quickly took action. The incident that crystallized this fiasco was the confrontation between New Orleans resident Patricia Konie and a group of California Highway Patrol officers that was captured on camera by a San Francisco film crew.
It was part of a news report covering the mandatory forced evacuation.
Interesting, so they came to restore order by going to where order existing and causing chaos. That’s crazy. Thanks for the clarification. I couldn’t see any id on the cops.
It’s the last point, though, that’s most important. This was filmed and it’s public. We know about it and still have our rights. That’s a lot of comfort. We’re moving from a period in which government grew unchecked and out of control under the philosophy of collectivism (progressivism/liberalism/communism/socialism/whatever) to a period of greater liberty. Government as currently constituted is unsustainable. It will have to change.
Did she file a civil suit and, if yes, what became of it?
CHP are a bunch of self-obsessed psych cases. Most local sheriffs in California aren't so bad.

Don't know, but it's great video.
I live in NY, and I have many modern sporting rifles...I have no intention of registering them, nor will I dispose of my large cap mags pursuant to the unSafe Act.
Screw them...especially Princess Andrew.
It’s an interesting balance. In many rural areas they’re mainly served by state police, at least here in Illinois. County Sheriff’s also serve the area. I know people who prefer one over the other, depending.
