All The Pols Have Armed Security

ESCORTED BY ARMED GUARDS, BERNIE SANDERS ATTENDS ANTI-GUN MARCH

Sanders demands gun control while standing behind safety of armed guards

Bernie Sanders was escorted by armed guards as he addressed an anti-gun march in Washington, DC.
Sanders live-streamed himself and his entourage of armed Capitol Police at the event on Wednesday while he waded through a crowd of gun control proponents:
At several times during the live stream, the guards blocked students from getting too close to Sanders.
Sanders likely felt well-protected by his Glock-carrying guards as he told marchers to have “courage to take out the NRA.”
It seems that Sanders wants gun control for everyone – except for his own security detail, a luxury a majority of Americans cannot afford.
Other gun control proponents also enjoy the security of armed guards, like late night host Jimmy Kimmel, for example, who actually beefed up his security over the past year due to the increasingly political nature of his show, including his demands for gun control.
“Ever since the late-night show host began crusading against the effort by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, there have been ‘incidents with Trump supporters’ that have forced him to increase security at his show tapings,” reported Mercury News. “In response, ‘the show has increased personnel at both the front and back entrances. This personnel consists of highly-trained, off-duty police officers.’”
Nearly every celebrity advocate of gun control has armed bodyguards – in other words, one rule for you, another rule for them.
Hence the hypocrisy of celebrities and government officials who demand strict gun control while being protected by armed bodyguards.

When You Treat A Policeman With Respect, It Is Usually Returned

A ‘Black Man Wearing a Hoodie and Strapped’ With a Glock Gets Pulled Over by Police — How He Chooses to Respond Likely Determined the Outcome

Realizing his front headlight was out, Arizona author and veteran Steven Hildreth, Jr., pretty much knew why a Tucson Police Department cruiser turned around and started following him.

“The lights go on and I pull over,” Hildreth wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday regarding the encounter. “The officer asks me how I’m doing, and then asks if I have any weapons.”
Hildreth had nothing to hide.
“Yes, sir,” he recalled answering. “I’m a concealed carry permit holder and my weapon is located on my right hip. My wallet is in my back-right pocket.”
More from Hildreth’s post:
The officer explains for his safety and mine, he needs to disarm me for the stop. I understand, and I unlock the vehicle. I explain that I’m running a 7TS ALS holster but from the angle, the second officer can’t unholster it. Lead officer asks me to step out, and I do so slowly. Officer relieves me of my Glock and compliments the X300U I’m running on it. He also sees my military ID and I tell him I’m with the National Guard.
Lead officer points out my registration card is out of date but he knows my registration is up to date. He goes back to run my license. I know he’s got me on at least two infractions. I’m thinking of how to pay them.
Turns out that concern was unnecessary.
The officers gave Hildreth back his Glock, “locked and cleared” in an evidence container, and let him go with a warning to get his headlight fixed as soon as possible.
Why nothing else? “Because you were cool with us and didn’t give us grief,” Hildreth recalled police telling him. “I smile. ‘Thank you, sir,’” he added.
“I’m a black man wearing a hoodie and strapped,” Hildreth concluded. “According to certain social movements, I shouldn’t be alive right now because the police are allegedly out to kill minorities.”
He added: “Maybe…just maybe…that notion is bunk.”
More from Hildreth:
Maybe if you treat police officers with respect, they will do the same to you.
Police officers are people, too. By far and large, most are good people and they’re not out to get you.
I’d like to thank those two officers and TPD in general for another professional contact.
We talk so much about the bad apples who shouldn’t be wearing a badge. I’d like to spread the word about an example of men who earned their badges and exemplify what that badge stands for.
