Terrorists WIN! Man Arrested For Wearing Camo....

Oh my God...based on some of the pictures a thirty round magazine may not be enough for defense against one 19 year old madman. We need a squad full of 30 round magazines. What is that about...why are they walking in such tight formation...must be learning some new kind of combat technique.
 
Full camo in a city environment always makes me smile. If they are not Military, I find it funny personally. If you want to blend into the environment, jeans, a plain shirt, ballcap with no logos on it and non-tactical glasses would be better camo.


Since I keep my hunting gear sealed up to keep from being coated in exhaust and 'city' smells, I can never understand wearing your hunting clothes as everyday attire. But then, that is just me.

As for this report, if they did actually detain him for his outfit, then they were seriously mistaken and should be held accountable. But as with all reporting, there is the story they told and the story that actually happened. Not always the same.
 
I hope he has a good lawyer.

And as you said, a person in camo isn't even looked at twice by most. Unless it is to determine if they are Army, Air Force, Marine, or Navy so they can be thanked.

no need now since the branches started thinking they were individually special and making their own terrible patterns. however, this new pattern war was won by the marines, hands down.

Now when I think camo I think hunting camo. So around here in upstate SC a person in full camo isn't looked at twice cause we all just assume he's another redneck who subscribed to that "we need to start wearing camo out in public" trend.

really grinds my gears, unless going to/from actual hunting.

The truly terrible camo pattern goes to the Navy. Blue camo for land use? What were they thinking? And if you are in the water in them, you likely need to be seen to be rescued. Back to the old style clothes so you could tell the Seamen, Petty Officers, and Officers apart.

i hate my AF tiger stripe.
 
When I read about this story on FB, I pointed out that I think camo is a requirement in the next county over from me..
 
Thanks for the cool pictures, it's nice to see our police out risking their lives to find a terrorist as people like you just sit in the comfort of your home and talk trash.


They are not on my side.

I am not comfortable in my home.

You are not on my side either.


Anxiously awaiting the ball to drop.
 
What does him not being named have to do with him having been harassed and "taken into custody" for no reason that any report I've found has articulated?
Just ammunition for a lawyer to sue with. Damages would be far easier to claim if he had been named.
.
Whatever, I did find another piece on it with a bit more info and quotes from cops.
Thanks, but that still mentions the camo only as a description rather than a specific reason, though the repeated mention of it still seems strange. It actually cites his behavior as the reason for suspicion. I also wonder if maybe it's the media who keeps bringing up the camouflage instead of the police. That wouldn't surprise me either.
 
My County in Florida is so saturated with guns its amusing. Cops are very comfortable with it and 70% or better are dressed in camo daily.

Our county has a lot of guns in certain areas. But the head of the MDPD is anti. Local city cops are more friendly toward guns.
 
Think you guys are right on it being a cultural thing, but not sure if it is just North/South. More like city/country.

If you were to wear all camo in downtown Detroit or Lansing, you would attract attention. But up in Claire or Mt. Pleasant area where my son lives, wouldn't even be noticed. But then it is farm/hunting country and a different culture. (after all, where else do you see a hitching post for horses in front of the outdoor/gun shop?)
 
Sounds like he was just detained for questioning. That's not like a false arrest, which would be a far easier case for a tort lawyer to litigate. I doubt you'd find one willing to sue just based on his being questioned. I'd still like to know why specifically they considered him suspicious though.

It's actively 2A hostile Philly City Fathers and their PD. They never met a gun owner they liked. The city fathers keep trying to pass laws that supersede the state laws for tighter gun control and they keep getting over turned in court.

PA is Philly on the East, Pittsburg on the West, and Alabama inbetween. I live in the Alabama part.

Start wearing camo? Here in AR camo is the state color next to U of AR "red". Even the toddlers wear camo here!

Did anyone else notice that the navy camo matches Monster Assault cans?
