No, he was not brandishing or otherwise appearing to be in the process of drawing his weapon, nor threating anyone. He’s innocent. I live in Asheville and would love to be on the jury, but it will never get that far, and they’d never pick me anyway.

Now the same people will have to come up with some good excuses to hide the fact that the cops used a law that is supposedly known to be ineffective in prosecution to arrest and hold a man on a 100,000 dollar misdemeanor bond. The police inspiring confidence in the law since whenever….
