I read several states were denying Veterans gun permits now just because they think they might have a flashback and lose it. I'm ashamed of how this country treats the warriors that keep us free. I think it started with the useless wars we had no business fighting, from Viet Nam to the present. People didn't like the wars and they started looking down their noses at the courageous men and women who fought in them. They were following orders from their commander in chief. Whether the war was right or wrong they risked it all for us. They deserve a lot of respect.

FYI: I am hearing from people in the region now that the guy is a known troublemaker, and may have been provoking the cops intentionally. Note that I am not hearing this from any official sources, but actual folks there.

Like he wsa trying to get one of those videos that are all over the net with some sort of title like "unlawful stop" or something? Interesting but, assuming it is true, I think the police need to maintain a higher form of decorum and not get drawn into a legal trap. That is taxpayer money they are at risk of losing to a lawsuit. I think this happens a lot at protested where they try to get footage of the cops clubbing some old lady. It definitely sucks and makes the cops job harder, and I think you are right about him provoking the cops, but being a co isn't an easy job and ultimately it's the rights of the people they have to uphold.

From what I am hearing, the cops were polite the other 20 or so times, but got overly frustrated this time. Still makes them wrong, but also human.

Wow, so they keep hassling this guy even though they did the same thing another 20 times? Now this is sounding like a pattern of harassment. I was thinking he was just out one day and got jumped but if the cops keep busting this guy for no reason then that is very, very bad.

You misread what I said. He went out baiting cops 20 times, and 19 of them they were totally polite and professional... At least that is what I am hearing.

I don't want to be argumentative here but is it possible one person's "baiting" is another person's "just going about your business"?
