He knows the law, he just found a way to work around it. The disturbing the peace thing is a crock and everyone knows it which is why there was a protest. Was the kid right for openly carrying a rifle slung over his shoulder in the middle of the city? We know he wasn't breaking the law with regards to openly carrying a firearm so that's up to him. It's his right. Reminds of me of the movie where Nicholas Cage was walking down the streets of New York with a bow and quiver of arrows.
Doh! I knew that but had a brain fart as I was typing and put Alabama instead of Michigan.
first, let me pre-qulaify this by saying that i am not a leo basher; but i thought about this one for a long time.
In the police station:
Police captain: Jenkins, it's walls first day out. You take the rookie with you.
Jenkins: You got it cap! Let's go walls.
In the patrol car:
Walls: Hey jenkins, you been a cop for 20 years; any tips i should know?
Jenkins: Keep your eyes open, head on a swivel and rack a round and make sure you go home to your wife and kids each and every night.
Walls: Thanks, man.
Jenkins: Oh, and never forget; no matter what happens if you have to take someone in and you are not sure what they have done; they have always at least disturbed the peace.
Walls: Wow! Even if they were just mouthing off and acting like an a**hole?
Jenkins: Particulalry if they mouth off!
Walls: Got it!
Jenkins: Just think of it as lagniappe!
