I agree the guy didn't handle it right, but please show me in the Constitution where proactive police force (standing army) can harass people for individual choices ?
Let's not forget why the 2A was put in place.......
The guy was angry for a previous arrest. He had and has legal options available to " seek redress" thur the courts. The choice he made was not appropriate and illegal.
On this forum a lot is made about seeking legal redress when persons feel that their rights have been violated. We even have a rule prohibiting unlawful acts.
Upon his conviction he will no longer be innocent in the eyes of the law or a lawful society.
Personally, I find it sad when anyone chooses to intentionally act in any manner that violates another's rights or is unlawful.
We can disagree about if a certain act or behavior may be lawful or unlawful or even if the federal government or other more local entities has expanded beyond the confines established by our constitutional form of government. We still have legal for of redress and even advocate using these form of redress to seek restitution.
For example, many times members of our LE communities have used audio and video recordings to either provide evidence of unlawfully activities and LE and or citizen recordings have provided evidence or exoneration of allegations of LE misconduct. The LE recordings can help the officer/agency or hurt them.
Now much like a fire extinguisher we don't get much notice if any when it will be needed. Having a audio and or video recording of out actions will either help or hurt us in providing an unbiased record of our actions or the actions of others.
I hope I've made some spence with this. It is a challenge for me to make these types of postings on a smart phone.
