1st off this is jsanchez's and only jsanchez's decision on how to handle this situation. No matter what he decides to do he has my full backing.
Having said that I dont believe that turning the other cheek and letting this go again is any longer the way to go. We as a group have been pretty tolerant, we have over and over simply asked for training for the patrol officers. Over and over again we have been promised that this kind of thing will not happen again. The only way this is going to stop is for it to cost the officers and the LEA money and lots of it. I have never been given any slack by an officer for not knowing the law and I guess I am at the point of not giving the officers that behave this way any slack either.
I say go for the jugular, dont settle take it all the way to the end. If any of us had held an innocent person at gun point we would be looking at prison time and fines, its about time we turn the tables.
I am of course assuming that the facts we have right now are correct, further investigation is necessary.
