- The first portion of the video is labeled “Test 1 – White Guy With AR-15,” where we meet a man named Warren from Oregon who explains that he is just going out to exercise his right with the rifle.
and
- The video then cuts over to the black man who is also open carrying an AR-15. There is no introduction, but it is labeled “Test 2 – Black Guy with AR-15 – same gun, same laws, but he’s black.”
imho, this paragraph is important There's a difference in the introduction of both scenarios, but as far as I can see, this is a moot point. Both men are versed in their rights, and the difference is entirely in the officer's reaction. I understand that it's a different department and a different location, but I have a hard time believing that, in any town, the interactions would have been much different. Also, I see people in the comments of the article claiming the second scenario was actually a white man from Reno, not a black man. Not sure if I believe it, but if someone wants to investigate it, let me know.It is difficult to hear, but the detained man begins to explain for his own video that he is being illegally detained for open carrying and states that since he is not being issued a summons or committing any crime, Terry v. Ohio does not apply. The 1968 Supreme Court ruling, which gave way for the Terry Frisk- currently known as “stop and frisk”, even though it states that under the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, there needs to be reasonable cause or individual suspicion for a search to be conducted.
It's an experiment ans while the conclusion might seem obvious it needs to be performed many more times to offer a solid conclusion. White gun nuts have a reputation for open carry actions, they have "earned" their right to open carry by being a persistant low level pain in cops ass. I think if Black gin nuts persisted in exercising their rights you might see how police treat them look more like how Whites get treated. That's my hypothesis anyway.
