He wasn't charged with anything. Honestly I think the cop did the right thing. He was responding to a report of an assault and came upon the scene with people screaming that this guy had a gun. Anyone that listens to cop radio knows that details are wanting. By keeping ANTIFA back, securing the area, including disarming the individual, the cop was able to wait for backup and get a full assessment of the situation.
Once they confirmed the man's account - that he was being assaulted and was in fear for his life so he drew his weapon - they confirmed that he was legally carrying and escorted him away from the area.
I’m with you this. The police successfully deescalated the situation. They need to arrest the vandals though. That’s what boils my blood. This old guy was put in fear for his life and will end up having to pay for a bunch of repairs on his truck. Antifa walks free and will keep destroying private property.
Anybody know who this guy is? I'd like to contribute to his defense fund.
