Old News. From last year.
It’s only a matter of time before people start shooting back at these bastards.
Oh well.
“Resisting” and other such crap charges should be automatically dropped, when the underlying charge is found to be baseless.

If MSG Grisham had been an illegal alien doing the same thing, little Stevie the Cop would have went back to eating donuts and everything would have been fine. Unfortunately, in Barry’s “fundamentally transformed” Amerika, whitey is gonna pay!
He was taking his son on a hike for a Boy Scout project. Clearly suspicious and criminal behavior.
I think resisting is a catch all charge no matter what you do. Maybe throwing yourself prostrate on the ground might satisfy them but even then you might be accused of evading arrest because the cop has to bend over to cuff you.
That DOES seem a serious miscarriage of justice. WHERE do they get these weak JURIES??
Ever notice that hoplophobia strikes selectively?

And doesn’t everybody strap on bandoliers and an AR 15 when they go for said Boy Scout Hike? And don’t forget your video camera.
A real shame, Mr. Grisham, a real shame.
a guy with his gun slung gets a pistol pointed at him for not giving it to an officer?????
I HOPE THIS GETS APPEALED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The charge was ultimately changed to the current charge
I don't know the specific details here but it seems as though the officer was in the wrong. He asked why Grisham was carrying the weapon, he responded, 'because I can' , which should have indicated he was legally carrying. The officer could have then inquired along that line but instead chose to grab the weapon. I'm guessing that's why the charge was changed,
If my assumptions are correct, how can Grisham be charged when the policeman was the aggressor?
It does seem like Grisham should be able to counter sue for a civil rights violation for illegal seizure since the officer grabbed the gun off of his chest.

Cop was needlessly aggressive, out of control.
I would love to see the dashcam video. Did the cop request the weapon or did he simply grab at a loaded rifle like a two year old throwing a tantrum. Texas cops are legally allowed to disarm you while they assess a situation so if he asked for the rifle and was refused that is interfereing. If the cop just grabbed for the gun and ilicited an involuntary response I fail to see how this guy was convicted.
All of these cases in Michigan have slammed the police and local governments. Thank God for the founders of the state of Michigan and the wonderful constitution they gave us.
Just watched the dashcam. Porky pig never requested he relenquish his weapon and went batshit becuase the guy touched the buttstock while the “officer” was grabbing at him. What a pathetic jury to convict on anything.
