Let me summarize this video for you. This Texan man was going on a hike with his son, and he brought two firearms with him for protection. Texas law allows for the open carrying of rifles, like his AR-15, in public as long as it is not in a threatening manner. He also had a .45 caliber handgun, for which he had a Concealed Carry Permit. He was stopped by a police officer who had received a call from another citizen. The officer then proceeded to attempt to ILLEGALLY disarm this man, and when he stepped back, the officer drew his own weapon, pointed it at the man, manhandled him, ILLEGALLY restrained and detained him, and then ILLEGALLY seized both of his weapons before arresting him on a FALSE charge of "interfering with a police officer". More than once both the officer and his superior demonstrate their lack of knowledge with Texas gun law, as well as making the claim that they are ABOVE the law. Members of the police, claiming to be above the law. This is corruption. This is fascism. This is an example of state-endorsed thugs abusing their authority and using violence and intimidation in order to terrorize law-abiding citizens into compliance. These men were sworn to uphold the rule of law, the ONLY thing that separated nations like Canada, America, or the United Kingdom from Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia, and they show nothing but disregard and contempt not only for the proper procedure of enforcing the law, but the law itself. You can say that the comparison is too harsh, that things aren't that bad, but that isn't the point. The point is that when members of the POLICE are saying they are above the rule of law, that they have the authority to "enforce" laws which they are completely ignorant about in whatever way they want to interpret them, then there is no rule of law. I'll say it again. When those who's responsibility it is to enforce the law hold themselves above the law, then there is no law. There is only thuggery and intimidation, and a system of corruption that will punish you not based on whether or not you're harming another person or violating their rights, but simply because they want you to submit. In effect, you have no rights. You can look at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] Germany or Communist Russia and tell yourself that that couldn't happen here. After all, we have rights and freedoms, don't we? But when the institutions designed to protect our rights and our freedoms stop believing that we have them, they'll begin to treat us like they don't have them. Every time something like this happens and goes unpunished, we are a step closer to "what could never happen here". This officer is on an ego trip. At the very least he should be dishonorably discharged. Ideally he should also be arrested and put in jail for unlawful detainment and battery. But let me be clear in stating that this behaviour from the police is unacceptable, that these men do not deserve to be police officers, and any member of any police force that agrees with what they did does not deserve to be either. The law is not designed to be a vehicle for your power trip; it's designed to protect us. From criminals, and from the police.
