Milwaukee police officer Cassandra Benitez testified that when she first looked into Sutterfield's car from the passenger side with a flashlight, she did not notice the 9mm Glock on Sutterfield's hip, despite being extra alert to a possible weapon after seeing a National Rifle Association cap on the back seat. Benitez testified that her training told her that the presence of NRA gear makes it more likely the person might have a gun.

How far we have fallen.

My experience as a police officer tells me NRA gear means that person will probably be a responsible gun owner. What it doesn't tell me is that there is going to be a gun in a car nor is it reasonable suspicion to harass a citizen.
I'm glad I'm not a cop in Wisconsin & I'm really glad I wasn't trained as a cop in Wisconsin.
