Good...guy was trying to start a scene and he got it

Trying to start a scene by legally carrying a legal firearm while walking with his young son in rural Texas?

Dude wasn't threatening anyone or breaking any laws.  Some chickenshit saw him, pissed his pants, and then called the pigs to harass him.  He wasn't walking through the mall with an AR15 locked and loaded.  The rifle was clipped to his kit, pointing at the grass.  The dude was just walking.  Why have laws if we don't enforce them properly?

Those police officers should be fired, and lose their pensions. 

Temple, TX Cops Illegally Arrest Active Duty Soldier

Active duty soldier (veteran of the Iraq and Afganistan wars) and Concealed Handgun Licence holder Christopher J. Grisham was unlawfully disarmed and arrested on March 16 while hiking with his son, who was earning his Eagle Scout rank. Now Temple, AZ police have a lawsuit on their hands. Grisham has begun to raise money for his court case and his fellow gun rights-advocating Americans are not letting him down!

After two days of fundraising for his court case, he reached double his fundraising goal. Read about his fundraising campaign here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/2nd-amendment-legal-defense-fund. This is a prime example of illegal search and seizure by over-zealous police. This is CHL holding active duty soldier walking with his son. He wasn’t menacing. The police needlessly handcuffed and disarmed this man. I’m all for police protecting themselves, but I hope every cop in America is watching this and notes that Americans are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY and will not have their guns taken away. As Grisham says on his blog,

No one should have to fear being illegally disarmed without warrant, especially someone who has never committed a crime in his life.

Problem here is we didn't see what occured before the camera began. 

Did the cop respectfully request he lay is firearm down and ask for ID?

Or did he just haul off and try to cuff the guy?

what i find always works good is, yes sir, no sir,when you act like he did your doing yourself no favors

[headhuntersix]

I actually know CJ. He's had some issues in the past and is legitimately suffering from PTSD. He's a good man

True, but the problem is we don't know how he got to that point.

just going by what i saw,almost like he was looking for confrontation

[24KT]

Looks like one of those ghetto thugs 333386 is always describing... baggy pants, bandana on his head, and armed. 

[OzmO]

He's white so he gets a free pass

just going by what i saw,almost like he was looking for confrontation

But you saw it from the time he was pinned to the car and the agitation was well under way.

Kind of a poor assumption.

You're not revealing anything alot of people haven't continuously seen over the years.  

[24KT]

I believe the comment "We're exempt from the law" is going to come back to bite the Temple police in the butt!

I was referring to the  pass a Certain poster will give him.

But unfortunatly that other side hasn't done much to change people's perception.

Oh Christ. Why egg her on? Next thing you know she'll be ranting again about snide, arrogant, ugly, talent-less, lazy-eyed actresses not getting any roles.

At about the 5 mile mark of our hike, a voice behind us asked us to stop and the officer motioned for us to approach him. He got out of his car and met us a few feet later. He asked us what we were doing and I explained that we were hiking for my son's merit badge. He then asked me what I'm doing with the rifle, to which I responded in a calm manner, "Does it matter, officer? Am I breaking the law?"


he said he brings the rifle because of coyotes and wild hogs,why didn't he just tell the cop that.that's why i say he was looking for confrontation,and he got it

[Pray_4_War]

That's not the point.  If he's not breaking the law it's none of the cops fucking business what he's doing with the rifle.  It's legal to carry and he wasn't presenting it in a threatening manner.  If the guy was black and carrying a bolt action rifle instead of an AR-15 we would be having a completely different discussion.

Kind of hard to actually get the gist of it through writing.  Need to see voice inflection tempo etc.   besides that's wasn't the whole exchange from the point of initial contact to the start of the video. 

Again, not a complete picture!

I am not sure abut this.  Is it with I'm the cops "job" to investigate?

The problem with this vid as I have been saying is we don't know transpired from the point of contact to when the video started.

so you don't think he should have said for wild pigs instead of does it matter,am i breaking the law,i don't think he was to smart

[OzmO]

That's a popular cnspiracy theory and absolute fact!  Don't make me cut and paste 3,126 articles and 439 you tube vids to prove it.

No what I am saying is we don't have all the information to accurately say one way or the other.
