As for a meetup... SWAT won't be responding - they simply wouldn't be called upon. That's a call that probably has to be made by someone ranking higher than Sgt, and we have no indication they're nut jobs like Tran.
And if things did go bad due to vigilanty LEOs, everybody there would be making a lot of money off the federal lawsuit that could be filed.

I wouldn't waste any time talking to this clown. People like that aren't going to turn right around and apologize for being a jackass. Just go straight to filing an IA complaint.A compliant will be filed. No doubt about that.
I'm waiting for him to return from his vacation (conveniently taken the day after he causes all this trouble) as I have some questions that only he can answer. In the meantime I've been speaking with some other people at the agency who are all shocked by what he did and said.
Sgt Tran has issues that would seem to stem from his job. Either he is taking his role as leader of the SWAT team so seriously that the it's-already-gone-wrong mentality has leaked over to his every day patrol duties, or he's lost all faith in people to obey the law. Regardless of which it is (or something completely different), I don't believe an open carry event in Milpitas would be in anyone's best interest right now. I do not believe any of us would want to expose ourselves to a department who's SWAT team is headed up by a man who believes anyone with a gun, even unloaded, is a threat to everyone around them because "one day something will happen and (they'll) snap, and shoot everyone around (them)."
