Did I read that the officer held the guy's kid in the car and questioned him without parental permission? Isn't that a big no no too?

Current blood temp ... BOILING. I have a feeling these officers are in for a major correction. It's sad that a few idiots like these guys generate a bad reputation for the large majority of good officers.

Police in Temple, Texas are holding onto his AR-15 (and .45.-cal. pistol) until his case is resolved

On Friday, Black Rain Ordnance, a Missouri firearms company, graciously offered to give Grisham his choice of any AR-15 rifle at a significantly discounted price — free.

“When we heard about his situation, it was obvious that his rights were trampled on,” Charlie Spires, the gun company’s co-founder, told TheBlaze at the 2013 NRA Convention in Houston on Friday. “Then we hear that they basically confiscated his weapon and he can’t get it back — what can we do? That the was the next question we asked.”

Spires confirmed that the Army vet can “flip through the catalog and pick whichever AR-15 he wants. So, Grisham made his way down to the company’s vendor booth on the convention floor and went shopping.

Grisham, who is certain he will get his firearms back and win his case, was leaning towards getting a “pink splash” AR-15 for his wife.

This reminds me of the Sean Combs case in Birmingham MI, not that long ago. The city knows their wrong but just doesn't care. They are using the legal system to "teach a lesson" to people. That lesson is: do as we say, screw what the law says...as we can bend law to fit our will.  Hope he gets a good jury.
