Open Carry Advocate wants $3.6 Million

Stupid game, stupid prizes. No money for you.

He was not arrested for anything related to the gun. In fact he wasn't arrested at all. Tons of people legitimately open carry to protect themselves every day and have no negative encounters with the police. If you're not looking for trouble you won't find any.

911 dispatchers are not allowed to make determinations about whether a crime is occurring. They just pass information on. A call of a guy carrying a gun was probably reported as "a man with a gun by this description". Officers showed up, saw he did in fact have a gun, and were required to provide a response to a citizen complaint. So they walked up and said (my supposition) "you breaking the law with that gun? We got a call about a man with a gun". Instead of saying "no, just buying a coke, my ids in the car if you care to see it" he became difficult. Add all that together and the officer was acting in good faith. Just because other citizens are idiots, doesnt mean the cops can shirk their job of investigating complaints. That is why we pay them, after all.

And about Tyrone....thats profiling and will get a cop thrown in jail. If you have a holster, and a cop doesnt talk to you because you look like a law abiding citizen, thats profiling too. "I didnt question the man with the gun because he was white and dressed nice. Those people dont shoot up places." Wrong answer.

Either you didn't understand what I meant about Tyrone or you are confused about profiling. Profiling is perfectly legal, provided it isn't based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or economic status. I used Tyrone biggums as an example because he is a character on Chapelle's show who is a crackhead. Because they wished to portray him as a crack head they had him act like a crackhead. Scratching, looking around nervously, basically acting like a dope fiend. It an officer can identify those behaviors and articulate them it is perfectly valid.

If an officer IDs those behaviors, he has reasonable suspicion, he was not "profiling."

That is exactly what profiling is.

I think you are confusing the terms "Profiling" and "Racial Profiling".
