Listen as a citizen exercising his 2nd amendment right to legally bear arms was violently assaulted by Philadelphia Police with no cause.

In Pennsylvania carrying a gun is not reasonable suspicion of a crime and not justification for a stop and search or a detainment.

Open Carry is legal in Philadelphia with a valid license to carry firearms; openly carrying on foot is legal without a license everywhere else in Pennsylvania.

"On a Sunday afternoon, a Pennsylvania resident was walking up Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia, bound for an auto parts store, and happened to be legally openly carrying a Glock pistol on his hip, under PA state law.

A passing Philadelphia Police officer saw his walking up the road, pulled over his squad car in the middle of the busy street, and drew his weapon on the man, threatening to kill him multiple times if he moved.

The man was arrested, stripped of his possessions, and thrown in the paddywagon, while several Philadelphia Police officers made multiple phones calls to try and find out what law they think he broke.

In the end, they discovered that he was in violation of no laws, and was sent on his way, after having been illegally arrested for 45 minutes and his 4th Amendment rights blatantly violated."

18 Pa.C.S. § 6108: Carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia.

To summarize, open carry is legal in Pennsylvania without a License To Carry Firearms except in "cities of the first class" (Philadelphia) and vehicles where a License To Carry Firearms is required to do so.

I truly hope you sued the living sh!t out of individual cops, the police dept., and the city in federal court for civil rights violations.

stupid fucking asshole cop. You can open carry in Philly with a consealed carry permit. Just like most cops, this fuckin asshole has no idea what the law is and he is a typical prick that pins on a badge and straps on a gun and thinks he's God and above the law. He should be fired and made a fool of in court. HE belongs in jail.

[Infamous1412]

This is scary to listen to. It's absolutely ridiculous that cops aren't re taught this year after yea that open carry is legal. A sergeant with absolutely no fucking clue what our Constitutional Rights are. Our Founding Fathers would not want to live here if they knew what this Country has turned in to.

"Get on the fucking ground!" " Shut the Fuck up". "Thats being disresepectful"...Does anyone know the laws in this state?

[Sutinennn]

It's not like he is a fucking gang member carrying a concealed illegal firearm. What makes you think he's gonna get violent by simply OC'ing a gun? The cops were calling him a "fucking asshole" and yelling "shut the fuck up"

He didn't make the cops look bad, they are bad.

[Sutinennn]

What the FUCK

This "cop" goes "GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND" while the citizen is completely calm and it's completely legal to open carry... This kind of shit makes me angry.

[libra8a]

He did. And got $25,000 from the city.

[deathtolltally]
