I would like to pose a scenario to the forum and get your responses. I will give the story with an alternate ending and you respond to what you would do for each. Please don’t read anything into it or out of it. ]
I believe this could happen to any of us and I am curious to see how you would respond.
A man is shopping in a store, sees an LEO approaching him; he turns to face the LEO………
LEO: ]Keep your hands away from your gun and get on the floor.
MAN: Is there a problem?
LEO: ]Get down on the floor, face down, hands out to your side, NOW.
MAN: ]What is the problem officer, I’ve done nothing wrong.
LEO: Placing his hand on his gun, the LEO once again orders the man to the floor.
MAN: Officer, I am on private property and have permission to be here. State your business or leave mealone.
LEO:Draws his gun and again orders the man to the floor for the last time.
MAN:The man complies and gets on the floor.
LEO:The officer approaches and handcuffs the man, takes his gun and his wallet.
Seeing the man has a permit to carry, the officer asks the man why he would take the chance of an encounter like this and just conceal his gun. I could arrest you for obstruction of an investigationand resisting arrest. When an officer tells you to do something, do it, don’t ask questions and we will work things out after I figure out what’s going on. The next time, do as you’re told and it won’t have to come to this. The officer gives the man back his gun and his wallet and tells the man to be on his way.
Alternate Ending;
LEO: Does place the man under arrest for obstructing an investigation and resisting arrest and takes him to jail.
What would your actions be, i.e.
Forget about it
File a complaint with his department
File a lawsuit against his department
