I have two issues.

1. The open carrier was a douche. Us cops deal with enough of them, no doubt.

2. I don't agree with IDing someone for just "open carrying".

Why?

Jones v. Clark
No. 09-3574 (7th Cir. 2011)
"...An officer is not entitled to qualified immunity when they detain an individual and can't point to a single circumstance that could have led them to believe an individual was engaged in criminal activity, nor that any federal or state law can justify the stop or support the view that the individual was committing a crime...."

I agree, but when people start calling 911 to report the individual then police have to respond.

What's the best way to handle this situation in your opinion? I think the officer stepped over the line when he legally detained him.
