I was inspired, educated and motivated by a citizen who engaged in free press and open carry. This person was Dave Ridley.

Dave Ridley made a video and posted it only on Youtube. This is documenting and disseminating information to the masses. This is free press.
Prior to this video, I had never really heard of "open carry". I didn't know the laws regarding it.
Prior to this video, I didn't know the law regarding producing ID to police.
Prior to this video I had seen almost no examples of an educated, calm and respectful person defying the orders of a police officer.
After viewing this video I started browsing more videos on Youtube and I realized something. I realized we have a problem in America on a mass scale of police who don't honor, respect and uphold the constitution.
I became educated to that problem after watching these videos.
In addition to hundreds of videos of police harassing open carriers, I started seeing thousands of videos of police harassing and arresting people for filming and photography.
Both open carry and photography are NOT crimes. There is nothing suspicious about them and they are both clearly and explicitly protected by the constitution.
My goal was to educated the public about police and their systemic harassment and arresting of innocent citizens engaging in free press and filming/photographing the police and their government.
My videos have educated many people and have educated myself. I have numerous instances on video of police violating my constitutional right to engage in free press.
I am the press.
