I like your style. You made a post blocking the person you don’t want to hear from and now you want the whole thread closed?
Is this really happening?

I'd wager that police officers, of which I am not one, are asked to take an oath to the Constitution. I'd also wager that somewhere in their training they are instructed not to obey unlawful orders.
Now, . . ., These oaths and instructions are nothing new to those of us who served in the military.
Still, things like Mỹ Lai happen.
The thing that brings hope is the action of that ONE brave person who does the right thing. That CW Thompson.
Where was that person when the order was given to confiscate personal property without due process?
I know that there are intelligent, caring officers behind the badge, who know right from wrong. Who are as brave as Warrant Officer Thompson was in defending what is right.
I know police officers who would refuse to issue, or obey an order they knew was unconstitutional.
It's a shame that there were no officers of that caliber in the chain of command in Maryland on that day.
DBMJR1 nailed it. It is very good reading, especially for BS members that are too young to remember it.
If you want to research it look up CWO Hugh Thompson, or Major Hugh Thompson. I did a Wikipedia search of CW Thompson and it brought me to the deceased Louisiana legislator, lol.
I wonder if someone gets ratted out for having a illegal bump stock if the red flag law will be used to knock down the door and kill everyone inside to get that plastic death machine out of circulation?
No ****? PHI?
Petroleum Helicopters Inc. At one time they were the largest helicopter transportation company in the gulf, might still be. They contract to both medical and rig companies.
No ****? PHI? Did you know his history or reputation at that time? More than once I met someone of consequence, but I didn't know their significance until after the meeting. It was unfortunate for me; a wasted opportunity.
If your referring to me then yes, His service and reputation was well known in the Gulf
That's cool. When I was still active duty, I had the occasion to meet some celebrities, professional athletes, politicians, dignitaries, etc. When showing photo albums and asked who was the most memorable, I usually have 1 reply. By sheer chance I got to meet the father of Jacques Fontan, Navy SEAL killed on Turbine 33, the downed helo from Operation Red Wings. Jacques was a Louisiana native and quite a remarkable man.
I always marvel when people say NBA players or the like should be held to a higher standard, or punished more severely, for their indiscretions because they are "role models." If a child was raised with the notion that throwing a ball further or running faster than the next guy makes someone a good person and a mentor, that poor kid didn't have a chance anyway. Our country is full of people who are true role models; who sacrificed much more, for much less money. Their names should be on bridges, public buildings, and in the public eye.
I am surprised at how many Bayou Shooter members are submissive, or outright supporting this law. Just saying. And if that comment doesn't apply to you, please don't take offense. If it does apply, , I'm not saying it to offend. Just an observation
