After reading the Jefferson county post about the police officers with a mild case of an authoritarian attitude, I thought it would be a good idea to suggest a more organized approach with OC in Kentucky to this group, until such a time LEOs in KY have been properly reprimanded and educated on the 2nd amendment, and the KY constitution.
In reading a forum on another website, someone suggested contacting a defense attorney before one has to defend himself against an attacker. In choosing the attorney, the poster suggested finding one that has had at least a dozen or so successful cases in a defensive situation. I thought this was good advice.
I am suggesting the same here, but with a different premptive approach. We apparently have a situation with certain LEOs that are determined to harass citizens who OC. This needs to be stopped.
I have seen this asinine argument of "creating a disturbance, or panic" more than once in these forums, and this is clearly a case of abuse of power, when there is no panic or disturbance. Besides, ignorant people who panic, should not undermine my rights to OC. I believe with the right evidence, a judge can clearly throw these cases out, and the complaints we file as individuals (or a group?), can get these officers reprimanded. I prefer fired, when it comes to violating my rights. Losing their job should make "abusive" LEOs think twice about harassing law abiding citizens.
This is not about being disrespectful to LEO, or having hostile intent here. I have alot of respect for the majority of police officers, however I despise abusive government. Kentucky is a gun friendly state. It's the people's responsibility to utilize the system to put an end to this abuse.
Additionally, if agreed upon, we should consider establishing a Kentucky OC YouTube channel, as they have done in New Hampshire (see http://www.youtube.com/user/RidleyReport) to expose police harassment and abuse. The use of Flip video cameras will capture any abuse, and expose the harassment to the public, where it belongs.
Any takers, comments / suggestions ?
