Holy crap

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

I couldn't understand most of what he or the officers said. But he's right.

We know what is best for you, politely obey or you will be shown how to obey

[Ronin13]

Wow, that's messed up. Isn't there a supreme court decision that says you can resist unlawful arrest? With force if necessary?

[Chad4000]

thats exactly what I was thinking....... scary to think about, and in this case, he'll probably get rich, but unlawful arrest is unlawful arrest.......

Wow, that's messed up. Isn't there a supreme court decision that says you can resist unlawful arrest? With force if necessary?

[brokenscout]

Yeah but we all know how that ends

Wow, that's messed up. Isn't there a supreme court decision that says you can resist unlawful arrest? With force if necessary?

[sellersm]

Disgusting. No "official immunity" for those officers...

I just want to throw this thread back up there, to remind everyone here how certain members feel about this sort of thing:

If you don't want to go back and read, I can summarize:

A) This guy was a dick for carrying an unconcealed weapon
B) He's a dick for knowing his rights and arguing with a police officer
C) He's a dick for recording it
D) You're an idiot for agreeing with anything he did.

At work so I can't watch the videos, but my understanding of the difference between these two cases is that there's a difference between open carry (this one), and open carry with intent to sue (the one you linked).

im not saying the cops are right but .... if he had his rifle slung across his back and unloaded till he was 100 yards from the highway then all this could have been avoided .......
