Easy killer...
Easy killer...
Maybe I'm over reacting since I wasn't there, but given the facts as stated, and given my anger at police abuse from being a victim of it in the past, I like swift action on out of line cops.Easy killer...
First i would like to say "Welcome" to OCDO. Second take a look at the info contained here http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum30/13328.html It will answer a lot of the questions some one new might have in regards to lawful open carry. Third i would like to think we had a positive educational impact on the community as well as law enforcement. There was even talk today of allowing some of us OCDO members to be in on some of the upcoming training updates. Now whether or not it happens only time will tell. I personally feel with the exception of one rogue cop and his out of place cruiser, mission accomplished.I am a resident of Warren, a CPL holder (carry everyday), and sorry that I did not hear about the picnic sooner or I would have been there. I was wonder if anyone knows if this made a positive impact in Warren and the surrounding communities, as far as, LEO's becoming more aware that the average citizen can openly carry? I would like to open carry more (it sure is easier than trying to conceal all the time) but I just don't know that I want to deal with the hastle of people panicing andhaving the cops called on me just for going to Kroger for a gallon of milk. Thank for the insight!
It sounds like there is perhaps an opportunity for an Oakland County picnic before the yearis over!....cops who may be called on you (especially in oakland county),...

Other than being "buzzed" by the one lone cruiser, which many have stated they feel he was leaving on a call, i felt zero harrassment by them.they was not baby sitting the birthday party at all so they was their just for us only.is this a form of herrasment?in my eyes it is but i could be wrong.

I feel they went over the top with such a display of things like the mobile command unit, an utter waste of taxpayers money IMO. I feel having 12 officers respond to Conrad walking to the park with his dog was a bit much also. But "harrassment" not one bit.
I locked and loaded 10 feet from their command unit and never heard a word, or received a disturbing look. If any complaint or inquiry need be made, it should be by the residents of Warren. Demanding to know what it cost "them" for the overkill of police presence that day.
I personally feel Warren was a success. As of 'this" post, I am putting it behind me, and am looking forward to Flint. See you all there.
