Article said that he has been “studying law” for the last few years. He shouldn’t have tried practicing it until he passed the bar. Soccer, UC Davis, lawyer is all you need to know.
“Article said that he has been “studying law” for the last few years.”
Well then he learned a big lesson on the last day of class.
I think he was in what we military types used to refer to as the “sh*thouse lawyer” stage.
Idiotic Sovereign Citizen smacktalk has consequences. Here’s a tip to such fools: Be polite and respectful to the cops. Comply with their instructions. Record the interaction if you wish, and then, if you take exception, sue them. Don’t bring a spurious legal argument to a gunfight that your failure to comply provoked.
“Fortunately I’ve never been stopped while carrying in the car.”
My experience has been that immediate disclosure got me particularly good treatment, so good, indeed, that it’s become my SOP.
Utah…..not NY..,not New Jersey….not California
Utah is a constitutional carry state.
What was the problem is that the guy seemed to think that laws didn't apply to him, starting with the fake license plate that likely indicated to the responding officer that this guy was going to be trouble.
The law is really clear that if you are operating a motor vehicle on a public street, you have to provide identification and the car must be registered.
Arguing with the cops about those most basic facts is rarely going to end well. On top of that, reaching for a clearly visible gun, without telling the police what you're doing can be fatal. As it was in this case.
“Does beg the question that the cop called for backup before seeing or knowing the guy had a gun.”
Common practice to call for backup with an uncooperative or non-compliant person. It is unknown if the person will escalate the situation or want to fight. Better safe than sorry.
“it looks like the cops waaayyy over-reacted. For starters....why 12 rounds?
There were multiple officers there. Do you want them to wait and see if the first shot worked?
suicide by cop.
He wasn’t shot because he was a wise ass. The officer gave him all kinds of leeway and was courteous and patient. He was shot because he reached.
“people have that frigging phone in their hand every waking minute... “
I don’t but I damn sure would if police initiate an interaction with me.
Play stupid games get stupid results
That’s what the family says. Not what the police reported
“Attention cops: We the People are armed, as is our fundamental, God-given and Constitutionally protected right. Get used to it. If you can’t wrap your head around it; if you can’t show us proper respect .”
The officer didn’t show him courtesy and respect? Are you just ignoring that? By all means show respect when someone reaches for a gun - you won’t go home that night though. What kind of unicorn reality are you living in? You are residing in the lefty, Antifa anti-cop gutter.
You fire until the threat is removed
Fair enough.
Reaching for it guaranteed he’d be target practice
