Had enough?

Have we had enough of this?

The video is about 18 months old and comes from a half-hour from me.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid saw the video at the top and tweeted, “This video had my heart racing, just waiting for one or more of those cops to shoot this man. Wheeewwww… well he was both incredibly brave and yes, he knew his rights. And why did it take 6 cops in battle gear and one with his hand on his gun the WHOLE TIME just to TALK??”

I’m not one to walk around with a firearm on my hip, even if it is legal to. The videographer was attempting to make a point, but at least he got out of there alive. And like Pam Keith, I also remember something about state capital buildings and armed men. A couple of somethings.

Police in the Michigan state capitol (above) were not just outgunned. They were outnumbered.

These men below got to walk around metal detectors in Kentucky without being surrounded and asked their business. One guard asks one if they had a safe drive.

But these armed men? There was something different about them.
