Las Vegas School Yard Bullies

I was lawfully walking my dog, lawfully open carrying. Leash in one hand, video in the other when two officer lunged toward me and cuffed me for 56 minutes. No charges, no ticket. Just a show of force and domination over me. Their excuse? Officer safety. The cops boo hoo hoo'd about their "safety." They had to cuff a girl with a dog and a cam and take her gun away to illegally search her.

they freaked out cause u also had your pistol on your hip but u failed to put that in desc

@pv2ramrod If you look at the channel 8 news coverage, it was clear I had a gun on me. There is no law against it in Nevada. You can see the cops were not concerned about the gun - rather the cam.

[ripnbst]

This is complete bull. Did you file a complaint with the department and what came of it?

What you were doing was completely legal.

[TgrLilGzz]

@ripnbst

No complaint yet; but have an atty interested in representing me.

Right now I'm preparing to defend myself against the City of North Las Vegas. On May 26th I was videotaping my son being WRONGFULLY arrested, and from 32 yards away I was accosted by a cowboy cop that snatched my cam, cuffed me, and took me to a holding tank where I spent 24 hours before getting released (even though my bail was posted within 4 hours.) My cam was returned RECORDING DELETED!

This makes me so mad.

@WalrusWrangler

Don't get mad, get educated ;)

I signed up for my job as reporter and risk my life when I exercise my right to free press.

It bugs me a little that a law enforcer tried to tell me how difficult his job is while I was handcuffed and he was wearing a badge and a gun. I was surrounded by four police officers. Who was at most risk? And had I - as a civilian - done to another citizen what these boys did to me, you can bet I'd be sitting in a jail cell for years to come!

You have no idea what you inspired inside of me with this video. Action. I am calling out all those people who are telling you to "keep at it" and "keep it up". I want to tell all of you to DO THE SAME THING IF YOU LIKE IT SO MUCH! I have a video camera and will now be carrying it with me everywhere. If you're so into this kind of stuff, and you know your rights, then take it to the steets legally and lawfully. If we the people got together for a just cause, NOTHING CAN STOP US including POLICE!

[toptruckracer]

You need to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against those two cops. Without reasonable suspicion or probable cause it is illegal to detain/arrest someone. They had no RAS or PC for the detention/arrest.

If you do not file suit and hold them accountable they will continue to break the law.

@samten10a So you're saying the cops can go around disarming any citizen they want for their "safety", even if the citizen isn't breaking any laws or under an investigation? What about the citizens safety? Don't we have to right to bear arms and protect ourselves, while also watching the watchers?

[1775novten]

@samten10a Wait, so if a K9 officer with a gun and a dog is near me, should I freak the hell out and want him arrested? No, of course not, so why do the same to a peaceful citizen who isn't breaking any laws? It was clear that this happened in retaliation for her not "complying" with the officers request to mind her own business and move it along - which again is not against the law. This was clearly a show of force and intimidation.

@TgrLilGzz If you have a smart phone, I would recommend that you download Ustream from a app. Look it up, it very useful. Thank you for exercising our rights and have a happy new year.

@hikerboy16

You are imbecile she had a gun on her hip. She had a dog she could have sent after the cops. Are you saying the cops are mind readers? That the cops can read her mind as to what she was planning to do, imbecile. You must be a mind reader most cops are not. 

[samten10a]

Lets see you have a woman videoing a kid. Is she pedophile that wants to take that kid? Now the cops see a gun. Could she be planning to kidnap the kid at gun point? The cops have the right to be safe so they disarm her. Find out she is his mother is there a domestic kidnaping because of divorce? Need proof one way or another. The tidal says school yard?? I believe the closes you can get to that with a gun unless you’re a cop is 300 yards.

[theXxTeChNoFrEaKxX]

Fagget ass cops!!

[phatwcinfrcr]

@pv2ramrod Yes, she had a pistol on her hip... WHICH IS NOT ILLEGAL EITHER. It was the camera. What you are saying is it is ok for the cops to feel threatened by someone open carrying a weapon (criminals do not do this), but then it is ok to threaten that person for carrying said weapon and video recording them?

[Pafoofnik1]

@pv2ramrod: No reason for anyone to freak out. Open carry is as legal as wearing pants:

Article I Sec. 11

Every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes.

[pv2ramrod]

@ripnbst she also had her pistol on her hip
