Some one needs to explain to him that open carry is very legal, not a cause for a stop in Indiana,
That is a Heckler's Veto. I don't like it therefore I will harass you for exercising your rights.
Who is telling you this? What authority are you citing for this statement?
In IMPD's case, the statement is correct
There is a distinction between internal policy and constitutional law.

IMPD may have a policy on stopping those for merely openly carrying a handgun. However, carrying a handgun is a crime and reasonable suspicion of a crime is a valid reason for a stop.
His opinion. The fact he is a LEO doesn't make it worth any more or less.
Big ****ing deal. Real people, real language.

Agreed. Too much outrage over language these days. OP, are you genuinely offended by the language, or just mentioning it because it came along side an opinion you didn't agree with?
Would you have the same outrage if the officer had commended you for taking a ****ing stand for gun rights and openly protecting yourself from these ****ing thugs?

What is displayed in the OP is a consensual encounter.
"wow, are you worried that a criminal will shoot you in the back of the head, and take your gun? and your cruiser? no? do you have eyes back there, or is the back of your head bullet proof?"

I get that the officer should've been more diplomatic in his approach to this situation but is this really cause for the disdain and pitchforks ?
OP , if you feel offended strongly enough by the officer's language to file a complaint , why didn't you feel strongly enough to inform the officer that " OC is legal and not cause for a stop " ?
I'm really ****in surprised at INGO on this one . Ready to start smiting this guy's career over some solid , ****in words of advice .
It seems that everybody's ready to have this guy fired and Kirk's ready to file a ****in case because the OP didn't like the ****in language used while getting some ****in good advice .
Going through life being a ****in professional VAGINA is no way to live .
How bout we look past the delivery and focus on the officer's intent , which seems to be honorable .

Not everyone agrees with your assessment nor the officers though. .
Curious, Kirk. Consensual because the OP didn't ask if he was free to go? I admit I haven't watched the video yet, but in the OP it was stated that the police officer "commanded me to come near to him". I take it there was something in the video that shows a clear point at which the OP could have declined further interaction and just walked away?
