Psycho Cops

But then, that’s being redundant. This one comes to you via reader Ned.
I don’t know which Shelby County this is (there are two of them). But whichever Sheriff is to blame, his boys need retraining.
This isn’t a “Terry Stop.” No one to whom he is talking is suspected of a crime. The gun owner isn’t breaking any laws.
And I’ve pointed out before that if a cop issues a command to touch your firearm, that’s no different than him touching your firearm. Both actions are idiotic. Nothing anyone could do (except the cops unholstering their weapons and pointing them at someone, which they do with regularity) could possibly make the situation more unsafe than for someone to have to touch their weapon.
Negligent discharges could occur, misinterpretation of intent could occur, and unfamiliarity with the weapon design (if the cops are handling the weapon) could cause a discharge and injure or kill someone.
And by the way, that command issued at the end of the video, “Sir, come back here,” was an unlawful command. I suggest come retraining in the case of Nathaniel Black before the Fourth Circuit.

Negros are hilarious. That’s Tennessee, out west, but it’s hard to tell because the police accents are not very pronounced, or I just can’t hear it anymore. The open carrier, by law in TN, has no obligation to present unless asked, it is not a “must notify” state, although open carry must be by permit, in the law of TN. And this is more evidence that the only people who want you disarmed are WHITE, other than the house Negros in government of course. Do you honestly think that their women will be Red Flagging their warrior grade men? Nope, that’ll be white panty wetters, like Donald J. Trump.

A recording (audio and/or video) really keeps a conversation candid, doesn’t it.
Imagine how differently this situation c/would have turned out, had the PD NOT had ‘body-cams’ …

I’m in TN. There is no duty to notify, concealed or open carry. BTW, your driver’s license, carry permit and vehicle tags are linked
A couple years ago I was pulled over for a headlight out by Chattanooga PD. I carry a concealed firearm on my right hip. I was on my best behavior, hands on the wheel. He told my why he pulled me over and asked for my license, etc. Then he asked me if i had any weapons in the vehicle and i told him i have a permit and i’m armed. He freaked and threatened to shoot me.
This is how they roll.

I still think a lot of this is explained by the lowering of the national IQ. Listen to those cops. They can’t be sporting 100 IQs. The stupidity is strong in them.

George. Not long ago a man sued a PD for not hiring him because he scored too high on the intelligence test. He wasn’t even brilliant, just a little above average. I think his score equaled an IQ of about 115. The judge declared that it was OK to discriminate against smart people in hiring people to work in law enforcement. It’s not hard to find if you do a search.

Okanogan Offgrid. Yes and this has been going on for quite some time. Police do not hire the best and brightest. They have for some time hired based on certain personality traits one of those happens to be a not too high IQ.
I suspect other traits the psychological test for candidates looks for is a personality of conformity and obedience to orders above all else. This is a feature not a bug.
