When are we gonna hold management responsible for the guys on the street?
Seriously, the "cheat sheet" was 9 yrs out of date?

It is funny to hear the "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" mantra, and for THEM to be the ignorant ones. Worse because the law had changed so long ago.
Reminds me of the scene from the Transformers movie: "see this badge? It's a 'I can do what I want and get away with it' badge."
Interesting how everyone seems to want to be "sensitive" to the Aurora incident, EXCEPT the authorities by re-educating themselves!
Not to mention the "you're about to get the **** kicked outta you" remark.
Someone needs to be held accountable.
So if "ignorance of the law is no excuse!", what's Theirs?
Until we start holding officers personally accountable for their actions, there will continue to be abuses and negligence.
Im not talking about the accidents or marginals... Im Talking about the planted evidence, lies, corruption and abuse.
No more slaps on the wrist and a performance review in their record.
don't do the crime if you cannot do the time.
So this person that was arrested was the very first person to open carry in C.S. In a public area / park in the 9 years since the laws have changed ?
It hard to believe that there hasn't been at least one incident or bad arrest for the PD there to learn from and correct their officers as to what is and is not legal in reference to open carry of firearms......[Stooge]
Wait a second... A gay guy carrying a gun?!?! Say it isn't so! Sounds like he was the target of a hate crime to me.
I didn't make it all the way through the video, but I can understand why he was upset. Good for him for standing up for himself. Bad on the police for not knowing the law.
I don't know if it was a discrimination or hate inspired arrest, but I certainly can see the lawsuit coming against cspd for it.Quote:
