Good for this guy. I like the fact he recorded the convo with police. Of course the media and police captain act like he is in the wrong...

  In viewing the video, one can clearly see just how far we have fallen as a people from any concept of freedom and personal liberty.
  
  It was truly disgusting to hear the commentary by the reporter, the "witness" who called the cops and the police spokesman.
  
  Pathetic.

  Better link
  
  Better link with a sound clip of the conversation this law abiding citizen had with the authorities while he was "not being detained".
  
  Snip from article:
  Reporter Elisa Amigo covered the story and claimed witnesses thought they "were about to witness a robbery" and so called police. I'm not sure of the time frame since Carlisle was able to order his food, pay for it, eat it, and leave before police showed up. So, either he was supposed to be a robbery suspect after he paid, ate, and left or the Parma police have a really long response time. Jared Leon was interviewed as one of the "witnesses". He claimed Carlisle was "looking around all crazy," so called police.
  
  Fox News did point out that open carry is legal in Ohio. "We as a city, as a police department don't agree with it, but we're stuck with it," said Captain Robert Desimone of the Parma Police Department. "That's the law, we have to uphold it."
  
  Edited ONLY to shorten link. [;)]

  Ohio... Pretty damn disgusting, some of these clowns need to be stripped of their citizenship.

  Good for Him! I used to live in Parma. The cops there are complete jerks to start with, and I bet they were really giving it to him over this.
  
  I'm so glad they couldn't do anything about it.
