That seemed like it was done very well and appropriate behavior by the cops. If you are going to act a certain way you should know how that is going to be received by others and the actions that might be brought upon you by yourself.

I'm sure these guys had a full slate of productive work they had to do, but they felt compelled to stand up for such a noble cause.

Yeah, that Martin Luther King guy was a mindless asshole just looking to be confronted. It's a wonder how he lead such a profound political movement.

You had to know that this Patard guy was going to make some analogy between something meaningful that happened and some mindless shit going on today. It's his style. Check DC for reference.

I have know problems with either side on this one.
IMO the officers get an A+ The two in question get a C- / their are better ways to make your point.

I don't know what point the civilians were trying to make, but I don't have a problem with it as long as they're willing to assume the risk they put themselves in.

What it exposes is a discriminatory nature in our society. Why does the mere act of someone carrying a gun make you think they present a threat? Do you feel threatened if you see a cop in uniform with a pistol on his hip? Now take that exact same person and put him in regular clothes. Do you now consider him to be a threat where he wasn't before in uniform? What happens if you change him from white to black, does that now make him a threat? You see the real issue in play here actually isn't about the second amendment, etc. It's about people who chose to discriminate and judge people based on appearance. How is this any different than the terrible practice police use to 'stop and frisk'? Police in those cases are using race to stop and question someone. In these cases they are using the presence of a firearm without any other actions. That's what makes this bad for everyone. If someone chooses to express themselves by wearing a firearm why should they be discriminated against? That's the biggest issue, it's a violation of your 1st amendment rights, much less any others. We should make stops based upon people's actions not based upon their appearance. If someone is doing something suspicious and carrying a firearm, or something threatening then by all means stop and investigate. But no one should be stopped just because of their appearance, whether that appearance is racial or the presence of a firearm.

No doubt in my mind, I am gonna duck for cover & pull my hand gun. The days of the Omaha police rolling up, as I am walking home with a few Pheasants & a shotgun slung over my shoulder, just to ask me if I got my limit & what fields were the birds in. Those days are long over with. Back then we took our shotguns,rifles.bows ect to school. Hell we got up before the sun & went out to the streams & woods ,to check traps before school. Not that long ago either. 1983-88 for me

And, questioning one's sanity when they feel the need to carry a rifle for protection when no imminent danger is present seems to be reasonable to me. |
