Police arrested one of four people who walked through a Cincinnati neighborhood while openly carrying AR-15 rifles and repeatedly using racial slurs and profanity.
One of two men in the group, which included two women, filmed their open carry rally in the East Price Hill neighborhood, where they walked past District 3 police headquarters and marveled that they were exercising their constitutional rights.
“Broad day, you see this? Walking down the street with a AR-15,” says the man filming the demonstration, who police later identified as Jesse Deboard.
The video, which was later posted on YouTube and shared on social media, shows the foursome encounter police officers, who question them on camera but let them go on their way, reported WKRC-TV.
“Like you said, it’s your right to do that, it makes no sense to me I mean, unless you just want attention and us to stop you and ask you,” an officer says on camera. “I just don’t understand it, that’s all. I’ve seen enough of these YouTube videos where everybody just tries to get the cop to stop them.”The group then brags about openly carrying assault weapons on city streets.
“Open carry in the state of Ohio, the cops can’t do nothing,” one of them men says on camera.“This is going on YouTube, n*gga, world star,” Deboard says to a passing group of black men
“Bouta go cop 2 ar-15s brand new in the box with front grips rail mounts extra clips and a thousand rounds of 556 shells not ta mention 2 Canon t3i cameras && 2 crotch rockets & thats just starting our morning! #Realmfsdorealthings,” posted Deboard, an aspiring rapper who uses the name “Lil Krayzie.”is it trying to get the cop to stop them or stick a finger in their eye that they can do this and nothing cops can do bout it? guess that depends on whether the guns were slung over their backs or in hand that could be considered as menacingly brandishing a weapon the fact that there were racial slurs gives credence to that and that cop was either afraid or derelict in his duty to protect.
they arm them and this will be out of control more so than it is now, these are carrying for the fun of it but when just carrying is no longer enough the next level is deadly NRA and bought politicians are responsible for making this as easy as breathing for some and not breathing for others, legalized murder.
