They are hurting the cause much more than helping it.

Agreed no need to be rude. The potty mouth guy was Richard Hubbard who got pepper balled in BA park last month. Dosen't help his image the way he is acting on camera. Also their derogatory signs towards LEOs were asinine.
With guys like that "educating the masses", you can kiss your gun rights goodbye.
A few questions here.......
Regardless of what you personally think of the guys involved:
Is it OK for cops to arrest you when you have done nothing illegal??
Absolutely not
Is it OK for cops to ignore the law??
Absolutely not...unless, of course, they're exercising their discretion not to ticket or arrest you when the law doesn't saw that they "shall". Then it's okay, I'm sure.
Is it OK for cops to violate your civil rights just because they don't like the manner in which you are exercising them??
Absolutely not
That is EXACTLY what happened in this video!
You may think these guys are idiots and are "hurting the cause", but what good are rights that you can't freely exercise??
They ARE idiots but the two points are apples and oranges. A reasonable person watching 5 minutes of either of these men's videos will see that they are attempting to prompt a response so that they can make a point, and it's not the one they claim to be making. Having a beef with guys who are making mistakes enforcing the law or mistakenly prohibiting behavior not prohibited by law isn't the same as attention whoring and goading them into those encounters in the first place. Should accountability be a thing? Yep. Is it in the VAST majority of circumstances? You bet your ass it is. People act like cops leave the house looking to violate people's rights and shoot brown people like it's cool. Those people are morons.
Do you REALLY want to live in a country where cops get to decide the rules and can disregard the law with impunity??
Well, we don't live in a country like that but, no I wouldn't.
I hope the guy that was arrested sues the city and each officer individually........and I hope he wins big!!!
If we let cops ignore the laws with impunity, we HAVE no gun rights.....or any other rights!!
Ask yourself this........if you were going to that event and were refused entry because you were carrying a concealed weapon (remember, they were searching those who entered) would you have walked away and let them violate your rights without repercussion???
What good are rights that you aren't allowed to exercise??
Who will assure that our rights are protected if we don't???
It's clear that those cops need a lesson in civil rights, and it needs to cost them personally!!
If guys like those in the video don't make sure our rights are protected, who will?? You??
You know what? I'm not so sure about that anymore. Forcing the issue seems to have worked well for the LGBTQXYZABC crowd; 30 years ago, Rock Hudson was ruined when he was outed with AIDS, and now you can't watch a show without an LGBTQXYZABC character.They are hurting the cause much more than helping it.
