So if a hundred police offices are patrolling the forest, may each of the 100 police offers stop, detain, and investigate this man for over two hours until all 100 individual officers have obtained the facts? Would you find this to acceptable behavior?
Thats an extremely loose analagy considering only 1 officer did what you are stating. The first officer checked his permit and let him go. The second officer stopped him, disarmed him, checked his permit, verified his weapon was legal, and let him go. The other officers did whatever during the 2.5 hours.
This scenario is completely make believe but ok. If the 100th police officer to see this guy thought he was breaking the law, and had no prior knowledge of the actions of previous 99 officers than yeah. I'd find it acceptable for the 100th guy just as much as the first. It be a statistical anomanly to get 100% of them to do so but sure why not. That would be one tired dude though. After being up for a minimum of 200+ hours (thats over 8 days) straight he'd probably lose it and shoot one of the officers. Then the other 99 would hear the shots and we'd have TN State Park WAR I between Embody and his 31 rounds and 99 officers. Bad juju for all involved in this ridiculous scenario you conjured up.
I'll bet if you pose the question to 100 officers with no prior knowledge of the incident, letting the officer that detained him at gunpoint tell his recollection of the encounter only that the majority would agree with his actions.
