This reminds me of how other organized crime rackets operated in the past. But our government eventually protected us from them by putting them in prison, not paying them off.
Threatened by a lunatic, robbed by law enforcement, our "victim" clearly met a very bad day -- one he probably didn't see coming.
Theft of his pricey ammo was bad enough, but what gave these jackbooted thugs in this grease spot on the road out of mainland Florida the idea they could confiscate a licensed-to-carry citizen's gun simply because he was OBVIOUSLY defending himself?
What the hell did he do to be deprived of his means of self-defense for an absurd 68 days -- or a SINGLE DAY, for that matter?
Yet again ad nauseum, law enforcement proves it is little more than a band of bullies who frequently abuses its power. Those thugs -- ALL of them top to bottom -- should be legislated onto a TIGHT choker-chain leash with severe monetary and jail penalties when they abuse citizens, as they clearly did in this case.
Stop thinking cops are your friends. They seldom are. Police are not now nor have ever been anything more than a necessary evil. It's long past time for the long blue line to be tightly tethered on a short chain leash.
It’s appalling and horrifying how little most law enforcement officers know about the actual laws. I had a fat, old deputy who could hardly get out of his car threatened to get his “AR” out of his vehicle because I was target shooting with my son in my back yard with a .22. Completely legal. Now I was obviously armed. What did he figure I would do if he waddled his fat ass over to his trunk to get his AR and pointed it at me and my son? He then tried to lecture me on firearm safety. I was an infantryman in a war, I’m pretty familiar. Just a complete douche. But I’m sure if I had to defend myself I would have been the crazy combat vet.
It's amazing to me that the "Gun Rights" organizations ignore, avoid, or tip toe around the Historical Source of Domestic Tyranny ....... Feral UnConstitutional Governments.
The Constitution was meant to Protect We the People from Government. "Who?" honestly feels that way today ??? zzzzz
AMEN!!!! I scream this all the time. Beyond the memes about 2A and hunting. The 2nd is 100% about fighting oppression. Nothing to do with personal defense or hunting. Those things were kennedy a given in all of society back then. And even the so called pro 2A people miss the point. My own congressman, Brian Mast, lost both legs in Afghan and is a republican went on an anti AR-15 rant with some “we don’t need weapons of war” bullshit. Nonsense, we DO need weapons of war. Any available government statistic will indisputably inform anyone that long guns don’t kill anywhere near as many people as pistols or BLUNT OBJECTS! There’s 100% a reason why anyone would want to ban guns, that’s so tyranny can prevail. And I’m not a “cold dead hands” guy. But the truth is as stated.
Many people are so fearful of crime that they "reflexively" "Back the Blue". Reason and Discernment requires a case by case analysis, but "whan a train of abuses" is evident then a Presumption of "Police Abuse" is not unwarranted.
We are Clearly facing Feral Gov Polezi Abuse from the Jan 6 Abuses of the FIB, to the Quisling "Door Men" of the Border Patrol, and the ATF, IRS, need no explanations.
This "Mindset" when condoned seeps down to their Junior Partners in State, County, and Local LE.
IMO, There are Liberty 2A Police Exceptions, but "the Rule" is more focused on tyranny for honest citizens, and ignoring criminal conduct from Illegals, Cartels, and other Gov Agencies.
Just ask yourself, Do you "feel comfortable" in dealing with police??? (Assuming you aren't doing anything illegal) Defense Lawyers advise Say Nothing, Refuse Searches, Beware.
Most police interactions for You/Me/We are Minor Traffic Infractions-"Fishing" for Revenue Enhancement. Just a Fact of Life.

A very fair comparison.
Great work by you Lee and Team. This makes me wonder what else they are doing illegaly and getting away with.
Thanks, Jerry.

Please tell me I'm wrong, I wish it wasn't so.
And THAT is exactly the issue. If you or I stole ammo we'd be in jail.
