I searched to see if already posted, but did not find it.
I guess it isn’t all bad to have a moron running around with a camera. If he hadn’t been out there, this cop would never have been recorded to give us hope there are more like him.
Still think the kid is obnoxious.
He has several videos on YouTube, but this link was sent to me from a cop buddy.
As Most have said I give props to the officer .this should be used as a training video for law enforcement on the right way to handle a person in a open carry state .
Good for him I hate police bashing videos as i have friends in LE and have even looked into LE for work.
It is a good feeling to see the good officers get praises when far to often the bad ones steal the Limelight .
I wonder if that officer was M4C’s very own “Dirk Williams”?
I just wish he wouldn’t have encouraged him. “Come to the academy”, “join the reserves”, “glad you guys were out here”… I think the local PD would be better off keeping him away. Far, far away.
I could not make it past 1:29. Assholes like that give all legal gun owners a bad name. They probably would have done all of society a favor if they made him a an example of Darwinism.
Kudos to the Officer for the way he handled the incident.
Are you actually suggesting that the cops should have killed a guy for doing things completely legal in their AO. What next your gonna want to kill people who speak out against gun ownership cause they give the rest of us speakers a bad name. Really???
I agree the guy is a deuche bag for trying to bait a law suit, but there is nothin illegal about it. Does he give gun owners a bad name; to a certain degree, but to me he’s the same as the asshole Ohio cop on Rhoid rage.
As for the cop. EXCELLENT work. Truly a good example of a professional who can control a situation without being an overbearing asshole. I wish there were considerably more people like him around. Hell maybe of there were more like him people wouldn’t be trolling for law suits…I’m not holding my breath on that one.
These people who carry with video cameras in hand, in ways that attract attention, are complete asshats. I feel for the police officers who have to deal with these jerks.
It was a shitty .22LR GSG-5… simply made to resemble an MP5…
and that’s exactly why those mall ninjas were carrying it… because they want to be HSLD but can’t afford to spend $2800 on a Dakota Tactical Clone let alone 19k+ for the real deal…
pure shit bags… can and should are not synonymous… simply because you can… does not mean you should…
and if they were dead set on open carry as a right, and not simply as a provocation, they would have carried a legitimate CCW and not something that specifically resembles an MP5…
it was a beautiful thing to see them squirm once the officer basically shut them down with knowledge… and they have no recourse other than… uhhh uhhh uhh but how do you know its a full auto just by looking at it… priceless
The best video in this genre (which has been posted here before) was of one of these ass clowns open carrying and holding a video camera IIRC in AZ. Of course people called 911 and when the cop rolled up the kid started out with “I’m a Marine blah blah blah”. Turns out the veteran officer was also a retired Marine and professionally handed the kids ass to him (figuratively speaking) on his own camera!
During our in-service ethics classes we watch a lot of these YouTube ass clowns attempting to entrap LEOs, good training.
Relax, Francis. I made that very statement to emphasize just how much damage a dumbass like that does to the legal gun owning community. It was totally tongue-in-cheek. Something that everyone else obviously caught onto. For one thing, that idiot wass hardly worth the time it took to view the video much less the cost of a bullet.
Essentially the GSG-5 is a .22LR just like my dad used to sling in the 50s when he was a kid and walked through town to the local plinking range.
The only critical difference between my Dad’s .22 and the GSG-5 are aesthetics and quality. The GSG-5 is basically a “scary black gun” to some folks and nobody “pro gun” should buy into that shit. In terms of function this is no different than a 10/22 (which ironically can be dressed up to look like several machine guns).
As for the “wannabe” status of the individual, that is a poor reason to deny somebody their rights. It’s almost a fudd mentality that if you aren’t wearing a plaid shirt and jeans you must be one of those “crazy black rifle” people.
This kind of ass-hattery will do nothing good for the rights of citizens to carry. You get too many clowns like that waltzing around town and it will backfire at some point, and the ensuing public opinion will be leveraged to implement new restrictions on carrying.
Like another poster said, know your rights and go along your business without provocation.
