Can't they get their story straight?

Early in the article they say....

People carrying weapons can be frightening and the department received several verbal complaints about the man, a department official said.

But later they say....

"No allegations were ever made that Mr. Fetters ever threatened anyone, or in any other way disturbed the peace on the day of his arrest," Dulan stated in the announcement of the suit on Tuesday.

So if no allegations were made, where did the SEVERAL verbal complaints come from, and why was he stopped and his gun taken?

Just food for thought.

The difference is, No allegations were made that Mr. Fetters ever threatened anyone, or in any other way disturbed the peace. There is a difference between someone complaining to the police that you have a gun, and your threatening them with one. You don't have to have been doing anything for someone to lodge a complaint.

The officers then took it upon themselves to decide that he was dangerous and was violating the law. They were wrong on both counts and that is why the lawsuit.

Or...

They always have 'complaints.' None of which came by phone or any medium that may have been recorded.... Sure. And they keep descriptions of every criminal, ever; because you'll match one of them....

The key here is that they lied with the 'we have several complaints' and hoped it would end there, like they always do.

But it didn't end there. And the fact that they are lying douche bags has been exposed.

Again.
