Michigan Police Become Educated on Open Carry

Michigan is a clear success story for those struggling to restore the Second Amendment.

Open carry, its educational.

They should find a less confrontational way of exersizing their rights... like not exersizing them... /s

We should also be thankful for guys like Rick Ector who is leading the open carry fight in the heart of the Detroit beast and doing it largely on his own.(Legally armed in Detroit)

[marktwain]

People exercising their rights have found that it is very handy to have a recorder/camera running when they are exercising.

Some find those cameras or recorders to be “provocative”. My observation is that cameras and recorders seem to make everyone more polite, kind of like an armed society.

Rick is a patriot.

"...police attitudes are changing as they are being educated."

And that education results in a valuable thing: RESPECT.

[cripplecreek]

I absolutely love the fact that we can open carry in the state capitol.

[JRandomFreeper]

Some folks find EVERYTHING provocative. That's why I make fun of them. ;)

We're working on that in Texas. It bites that we don't have legal open carry.

You are a fun guy.

Ector confronts a Detroit Sharpton wannabe and two hostile hosts with all of them attempting to shout him down.

There’s a new Detroit Cop TV series premiering on AMC @ 10pm tonight called “Low Winter Sun”. Maybe open carry will be addressed but it’s doubtful.

[cripplecreek]

It should be interesting to see how Hollywood treats Detroit.

Ever notice in Robocop, pretty much everybody is white?

At the heart of the Zimmerman trial is Florida's stand your ground law...

Sorry, folks. SYG was not an issue in the Zimmerman trial.

[marktwain]

“Sorry, folks. SYG was not an issue in the Zimmerman trial.”

I think Rick Ector tries to make that point in the video clip, but he is just shouted down by everyone else. It is bizzare how the agitator next to him simply lies through his teeth about the entire case, and the “host” simply supports him.

Deranged.

Here’s a teaser vid of Low Winter Sun. It’s another of those mumbling, whispering of the lines, that require constant adjusting of the volume type shows that aggravates the snot out of me ...

Definitely checking it out. Lennie James is a great actor and very likely a real shock to any locals who encounter him. (He’s British)

[cripplecreek]

Looks like we won’t be seeing Morgan on the Walking dead for a while. Lennie James is playing a Detroit cop in Low Winter Sun premiering tonight on AMC.

Shoot....I was hoping he might turn up in the next season.

Maybe at some point the LWS character will be killed off, LOL. But no, I can’t wish unemployment on the dude if he has a regular role.
