    What else can you say? Arresting officer should be fired.

    As always, I'd want to hear the other side of the story but I'm inclined to think both police officers should be busted down to rookie status and forced to lecture at schools and citizen groups on citizens' rights under the Constitution. It'd be more of an object lesson to others on the force if they have to see those two sans stripes daily for clear unimpeachable and egregious rights violations than firing would be. Perhaps Temple would then get more Justice and less Sheriff Buford T. Justice.

    There are some disparaging comments about Grisham being a "professional victim" in the comments section, and questioning his service. I don't think any of that is relevant. What's relevant is that this man was exercising his rights and was outright harassed by the police.

    His arresting offense amounts to "scaring the liberals".

    IN TEXAS.

    WTF So he could have avoided this if he'd been "politely displaying" ?

    What crap. That officer should be suspended if not outright fired. I bet he voted for our current president. Sheesh!

    “In this day and age people are alarmed when they see someone with what you have,” one of the officers told a handcuffed Grisham. “They don’t care what the law is.”
    Yeah. That's the problem. Not law-abiding citizens with guns. What a stupid thing to say. Why not correct the misinformed person as to what is actually legal?

    If you watch the videos, that's exactly what Grisham suggests to the police.
