Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire COPS GUN DOWN MAN FOR LEGALLY CARRYING FIREARM

It is rather well know that the DA is not going to investigate any officer shooting in Las Vegas. In fact, in Las Vegas, the person DOA has always turned and pulled something, sometimes it is shinny. Amazingly las vegas criminal never learn as this is repeated each and every time. The local news paper is in the tank with the PD. Anyone who things that members of an industry which purposely mislead the public on a daily basis have suddenly become the gospel is foolish.
The local radio stations had lots of commentary which didn't support the official positions taken in the press. The simple fact is LVPD shoots first, and lots of it, then arranges the details. It's a story that goes back to Ralph Lamb, one of the last wild west sheriffs.
As a note, open carry is legal in Las vegas. The hysteria it creates is something else. The cops know it is legal, so the arrest citizens lawfully carrying and eventually charge disturbance of the peace, and provide a wall of molasses of paperwork to get your perfectly legal gun back.

It is a sad reality, especially in CA. Obtain a CCW, and you have a much higher chance of being shot by the police, than you ever had being shot by a criminal...how sad is that? There has to be a hundred times the ccw holders as there were fifteen years ago, sadly police education has not kept up.

Yep, it violates Campfire Cop Rule No. 1 (See my second post in this thread for Campfire Cop Rule No. 2).

I'll bet the folks here could have a field day designing "the rules" that govern your posts.

It's actually the hawkeye rule. Your ignoring of facts before spouting your repetitive moans and whines about LE have always been suspect. And,for good reason. A pre-disposed mindset coupled with a total disregard for facts is a bed you made. Don't blame others for you being forced to sleep in it.

We have folks open carry all the time but there's always a sheep dialing 911 saying a crazed gunman is walking the streets. I've had many encounters with peeps openly carrying and have yet to shoot anyone.

not a dig at you gunner. just talking aloud.

back from violating rights what did i miss ?

It was well documented that varying accounts existed; the paper ran with the version that suited their agenda.

RSIJR if you are so informed as you imply on the practice of The Las Vegas Review Journal and LVPD, please provide an account where the reporter state the officer involved shooting (doesn't that sound better than say, killer, which is the more accurate portrayal), where the officer involved shooting is suspicious. Just one will do.

HUH?

No way blue, all those folks were in on the cover up.

Yeah, those dang Swedes are known for being part of the international banking cartel-black helicopter crowd. Especially the Swedes who shop at Costco.

a cover up say it aint so....

damn swedes

I was refering to your statements; the hawkeye rule, ignoring of facts A pre-disposed mindset coupled with a total disregard for facts.

I only asked that you provide one example where the LVRJ, the newspapaer whom I'm suspecting your response to Hawkeye is predicated upon, one account where the LVRJ has published that an officer involved shooting was suspicious. Just one, so we know there is not a "ignoring of facts A pre-disposed mindset coupled with a total disregard for facts".

It is facts you were discussing, yes?

.

If you are packing heat and are confronted by a person that does not want you there , GET THE FCCK out of there . you cannot win , your carry permit is to protect yourself if you are being robbed. if you are in a store and the magament asks you to leave GO .do not argue. as he has already made up his mind about guns and you rubbing his face in the fact that you are legal will not change the facts.

finally some common sense

Yes.

L.W.

The last time this was brought up someone posted a link to a article that stated the fine citizen that got killed had enough pills in his system to start a pharmacy. Poor law abiding citizen.

This is such an outrageous incident. Basically, the cops murdered this man. And you know, I wouldn't say it was necessarily the result of a phobia of guns, but of an attitude that is epidemic in law enforcment that condones excessive force. Law enforcement should not have qualified immunity from suit in my opinion.

The article was from The Las Vegas Sun, jackwagon. The link's been posted twice.
