Gentlemen, the infighting isn't helping to further the cause--our enemies want to divide us and create confusion. That is why they like to try and separate OC'ers so that they can more easily try to intimidate us. OC'ers need to give a united front against tyranny.
The point remains: We want to make it clear to the police that we are here, that OC isn't a crime, and that at least in the non-permit req'd states--OC in and of itself isn't even a justifiable reason to initiate a detainment, or conduct an illegal search or conduct intimidation with the aim to try and cause us to cower in fear at their mere presence.
The police need to be held to account for their actions against a lawful exercise of our rights. If that takes buying a new car, truck or house or even retiring on the county/parish dime then so be it.
Any time you have the opportunity to do so--file a complaint against the officers who harass/intimidate you.
Any time they violate your Constitutional rights--file a civil rights complaint with the FBI. Do it, and do it often. If Louisiana law permits you to initiate a criminal complaint--then when they unlawfully and without cause assault you, pull a weapon on you or threaten you--file a complaint and have them arrested--it may not get prosecuted, but at least they will know that you simply won't stand by and be threatened or assaulted.
Needless to say--have witnesses or get it on audio/video--makes for good youtubing.
The longer we put up with it, the worse it will get, because the police are under the impression that they can do/say anything they want and they expect us to stand by like nice little sheep and take whatever abuse they feel like giving--the longer we tolerate abuse, the worse it will get. History has shown that to be true.
Let me say it again--file a complaint against the officer(s), file a complaint with the FBI and if you have grounds to do it--sue-and sue as often as is necessary until they get the hint.
