Another boneheaded cop letting his mouth overload his ass. Well, Detective, idiots like you are why we have the Second Amendment. We need to be able to protect ourselves from self righteous assholes like you. Your badge does not give you more rights than anyone else douche bag. Your job is to enforce the law, not make it up as you go, or to use what authority you’ve been given by the PEOPLE to suit your whims. Idiot.

There’s a disturbing, infuriating story in the Daily News about open carriers–or more accurately, about comments East Palo Alto police detective Rod Tuason allegedly made about them on his Facebook page:

“Sounds like you had someone practicing their 2nd amendment rights last night!” Tuason wrote. “Should’ve pulled the AR out and prone them all out! And if one of them makes a furtive movement … 2 weeks off!!!”

Tuason even took the opportunity to ridicule the fact that “law-abiding” gun owners can’t get concealed carry permits. From the screenshot on the “Oaklander” blog”:

I read them both, the one at Salon made me leery, considering the source, but I did it anyway. It is well written, and doesn’t bash the military, but does speak volumes about Ms. Cook.

My first wife was similar in that she couldn’t go without the sex for the six months that I was gone in Desert Storm, so I get it in a different way, I guess.
