Disagree with you on this one CM, this was all about intimidation, period. JD was stealing some of their thunder and they didn't like it. IF he was doing nothing illegal, impeding traffic, dealing stolen guns, spitting on the sidewalk, whatever then there was no need for action after the initial detective presumably verified his license.
He didn't respect their authoritah so they slapped his wrist. I hope he slaps back, hard! Happens fairly regularly with the respect mah authoritah crowd.
Not bashing, I know several good cops, unfortunately they rarely make the news.
That was my point. You nailed it. Do not go PI$$ING with the Po-Po. It was their show and a set up on top of that. So in reality, you agree with me.
Youth will always try and make their mark. Is he a hero for the cause or did he stir the POOP pile and slow our role. Hard to say.
I too hope he puts the legality of this into full swing. It was a show of force for those in line and it sucks.
That is why I avoid these things. I do not play well with idiots.
