Jeffrey, I loved your post.
I hope to see more of you 'round steemit! I mean seriously, this was fantastic-- I thought you were going to take the racist prick angle for a moment, and instead you took the "no, we're allowed to have guns, so it wouldn't matter if he did have one" angle.
Hells yeah.
Thanks! Check out some of my other stuff. I prefer to stick with facts and side with whoever is having their rights violated. I updated the article, police released the videos.
From what I read in another article, the police are trying to explain their reaction as "gun+marijuana". The police chief is claiming: 'When you’re in possession of marijuana and you have a gun, that’s a public safety issue." Unfortunately, mounting evidence seems to be that a more accurate statement may be: "When you’re in possession of a badge and you have a gun, that’s a public safety issue."
I read the same thing after posting this. Drug war is a failure so everyone should have a right to cannabis, if they want it.
