Cop pulls rifle, threatens protester for their "Constitutional BullShit"

You don't need a license to open carry a rifle in the state of Texas. The cop was nothing more than a coward who has no respect for the constitution or the laws of Texas. Fuck him and fuck his supposed association with the 3%ers. Nothing but a coward bitch.

No...I think we need to stop and think (just like the cop did) about this situation!

This cop *stopped* and thought about what he was doing, then did a 180...*how many other cops do you think would have displayed that kind of character?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the cop was headed down the wrong direction...BUT, *he stopped and thought about it* and then changed course!

YES he was bent out of shape and flexed a little too much when he exited his vehicle for the second time with his AR, BUT, he stopped and changed his course of action! How many cops do you think would turn around after they've chosen the wrong course of action? Yes the cop was wrong but I believe it took character for he cop to realize what he was doing and deescalate the situation!

This is definitely one of those times where a guy like this deserves grace! There's no doubt in my mind that this cop properly filed this experience and will be an even greater asset for the 2nd in the future!

This is a good cop! He's a cop that *thinks*!

Ok first of all I just have to ask... was this guy wearing a skirt? As a law abiding, gun owner that would make me feel uneasy. Not the point however.

We afford police an amount of power to do their job. It is not to interpret the constitution at every case. They can detain and arrest and then the constitutional battle happens in court. I know he has the right and ability to carry. I conceal carry. But I know that if I get pulled over, my hands go out the window until approached and released. That's not being a sheep. It is preventing an avoidable tragedy.

So why couldn't this dude get a lanyard, put his ID on it and avoid this? He could use that bushmaster as a back scratcher and no one would say a thing. Even the most hardcore lobbyist have to see that some people go out to push the wrong buttons.

I am not a huge cop fan but this guy had a point and was seriously trying to deescalate the situation with conversation. He gave the guy every chance to skip detainment. Sorry if he came off harsh at first (can't believe I am defending a cop) but that could have been a particularly dangerous situation.

I guess I just butted heads with the police so long in my life that I came to the conclusion that you just never win. I assure you this cop has his job and everyone at the station laughed.

I think you have a little too much faith for this particular cop! Maybe your right, but I think the cop knew from the beginning that he was wrong and did an about face because his back up was a black female that out ranked him! That cop knew that if the citizen filed a complaint the corporal who backed him up would probably hang his ass out to dry!

Don't fool yourself, police departments have racial tension and exercise opportunity to fuck over each other!

They guy should have just showed the cop his gun Lic and that would be the end.

why ignite the situation. Yes you can open carry but you also need a Lic to do it.

well hat would make sense. Fortunately most of america feels the same. you just get the "special "bunch on the internet....

The cop was cool, the guy was a dick. You want your rights, great, so do I. Do us all a favor and don't be a dick like this guy.

On the contrary, guy was perfect, exercising his rights - guy was calm collected and dignified!

A barber must complete 1800 hours of training time to CUT HAIR...do you know what a cop is required to complete!!!
It's a fucking joke.

I guess I meant pick your battles. You will know when it is time to walk down the street with an AR-15.

He needs to get a license, just like a dog license, a drivers license, a marriage license etc... your rights come from man. End of story.

He should have showed him id and a gun license

You mean when they try to bane the internets?

In your country, in its current state of affairs, everybody who can pack heat should be doing so, even in the supermarket.

I don't think you need a license to own or carry a gun in Texas. You don't need one for rifles in Michigan and we have much stricter gun laws than Texas.

Felons certainly aren't allowed to own guns anywhere or carry them especially. He could've showed his state ID and been on his way.

Why he's carrying an ar15 in public, only he knows. It isn't like he's walking thru the ghetto or anything. Only a moron would wanna attract police attention.

I bet if he was open carrying a holstered pistol on his waistband then nobody would really care.

If you carry a rifle down the street here you can count the seconds before 10 cop cars show up. I guess the same goes for Texas. What a douchbag moron.

Im not just saying that to be inflammatory.

I dont need a gun here, why? My friendly local police man has one, and if his talking and de escalation training, and his physical power are unable to subdue a suspect, he will use it wisely. I dont fear my policemans gun, because it is appropriate to the task (not a military combat arm) and I can trust that it is there to serve my safety. How do I know this? My policeman does not wear a mask to hide his face, he lives in my building and loves to chat while catching a smoke in the parking lot. I know hist first name and I know his family. He is a public servant who gets off on helping people and busting bad guys. The only time I would ever need a gun is when the north invades, in such a case the exact same nice policeman will be handing them out of a crate and the line forms to the left as every adult male has military training.

You dont live in this world, I have lived among you and you need to flex and demonstrate ever right you have left to keep it. If every time roidranger army washout rolled up an innocent citizen for revenue or roman sport, the citizens on the scene were packing like the baggage scanner scene in the matrix, respect would be restored overnight, not a shot fired.

THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY IS TEEMING WITH EUROBANKSTER ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL NAZI INFILTRATOR PUPPETs !!!!

The constitution states that every AMERICAN has the right to own and bear arms. But he's walking around town wearing a kilt looking like he came straight off the plane from Scotland.

If he shows his state ID it shows:

A. He's an American citizen

and B. It allows the police to run his name and check for warrants or if he's a felon and then he can be on his merry way.

I really should move to Texas one of these days lol. If someone were to do in Michigan what this guy did then he'd be arrested for brandishing a firearm. Brandish meaning to display in public in a threatening manner.

I guess Texas doesn't have that law.

They guy should have just showed the cop his gun Lic and that would be the end.
