I have conflicting feelings over this. I know that open carry is a thing in Texas, but who crossed the line, if anyone?

CJ Grisham, President of Open Carry Texas, Army veteran and recent candidate for State Representative in District 55, along with a couple of other people was arrested yesterday in Olmos Park, TX (Bexar County). He was tazed and subsequently injured in that arrest with a head injury and was hospitalized. I was told that the head injury was a large gash on the back of the head. He also suffered numerous scrapes on his wrists and arms.
Grisham and crew were legally opening carrying pistols and long guns in response to an event last week when an Olmos Park police officer drew guns on and detained someone with a protest sign solely for the reason of open carrying a pistol (which turned out to be a training fake).
Grisham had a phone conversation with the Olmos Park Police Chief, Rene Valenciano about their policies, etc. in which the chief seemed entirely unconcerned with his officers illegally detaining people for a perfectly legal activity. (The conversation will be linked in the comments below).
Grisham and crew went to Olmos Park yesterday and were legally and peacefully open carrying and got arrested for it. There is a video of the arrest. There was no articulated probable cause for the arrest. The police showed up, including Chief Valenciano and ordered Grisham and his crew to the ground. Grisham at least refused. It was Valenciano that personally tazed and arrested Grisham.
Between the phone call and video from the site, it's very clear this was an illegal arrest by an oath breaking police officer and they will be held accountable.

Is it true 2018, our Veterans, irrelevant of their devotion or "decorations" are considered terrorist? That would or would that end our Constitutional right to bare arms against treason tyranny? Perplexed "free" citizen.

Some people feel that way, yes. But, a lot of the time those people are getting their "information" from newspapers or television news. They are sadly misinformed. We are not, in fact, "terrorist".

My interest in this RallyPoint topic has ties to what I learned from General William G Boykin on the movie Revelation: Dawn of Global Government. *Revelationonthemovie.info

Sounds like some blue need to be orange. They’re trying their own dictatorship. Boot em and change their color.

Having not been there or witnessed what happened, I'm not going to start Monday Morning quarterbacking something I don't have all of the details on. Regardless of who's right or wrong, when the police start ordering you to the ground, it's not the time to argue the validity of the detention or subsequent arrest.

Pretty typical that Cops have no idea what they are doing. Giving a cop a gun is like giving a toddler your car keys.

Pretty typical too, that someone who doesn't like cops, has never been a cop, and no idea what it takes to be a cop will shoot his mouth off without any frame of reference and make himself or herself out to be a horses ass with teeth. Where do you go to get those teeth cleaned - the proctologist?

As much as I am law abiding. The police are more liberal and it's because they get power from the liberals. They do not want to lose that power. Not only that those that say they are brave that so not believe in what is happening are true cowards because they are to scared to risk everything and go against what in their hearts they know are wrong

Sounds like a great law suit, loss of a few dozen job positions and a violation of Texas law about open carry.

Wow I hope there’s more to the story looks like we’re going down another rabbit hole of everybody doing the wrong thing at the wrong time
