And what if it's illegal for the cop to disarm him without probable cause? Are we just supposed to capitulate to police because it keeps things easy? Or do we defend our rights?
What you're suggesting is exactly the same reason why we have to keep "compromising" on gun control. Gun owners are willing to give a little bit more and more. Grisham wasn't willing to give anymore.
We don't know all the facts. From what we can see in the video, he did nothing wrong/illegal. The police were inappropriate and/or illegal. That's all we have to go off of until more information is presented. And given how quickly they were to reduce the charge, I'm guess everything is going to get dropped and brushed under the rug to avoid embarrassment to the department.
Let me say again, he (Grisham) could be in the wrong...we just don't know. Based on the video he did nothing wrong, yet the police were willing to ignore his Constitutional rights. Why defend them right now, just because he was willing to stand up for his rights, unlike what you're apparently unwilling to do.
