Pay up

Colorado Springs has to pay $23.5K for the wrongful arrest of a man carrying a gun at a gay pride event:

The four sergeants and three officers involved were unaware that it’s legal to open carry in city parks and has been since gun laws changed statewide in 2003.

Ignorance of the law . . .

    I don’t know why people agree to those “lose your first amendment rights” provisions in these settlements. In this case at least, he was going to win his suit anyways.

    The man had a wrongful. Maybe they shot it. That is a breed of dog, isn’t it?

    Robert,
    Plaintiffs agree to non-disclosure agreements because they can’t afford the continuing legal fight.
    Local/State/Fed governments will defend themselves with all of the resources (your tax dollars) available to them.
    Chances are, after the 3rd trial delay, the 5th documentary stonewalling, and of course some possible retaliation, you’ll sign the NDA too if you were in this position.

    It’s the right to bear arms, not the crime of bearing arms. Can we get that straight in this country?

  6. Don Says:

    …and this is in Colorado Springs, of all places! I have seen people open carrying at other political events in Colorado Springs city parks with no trouble. It looks like police training needs to be a bit more in-depth than a “cheat-sheet”, eh?

    Speaking as a LEO, sounds like they got off easy.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
