“The gun has been taken because when you go through the process of arrest, we have the right to take your gun and secure it and you have to fight to get it back.” The first part, sure. The second part, WTF? If you’re not charged with a crime, as is the case here, your weapon belongs to the cops until you “fight” to get your lawful property returned? Did I wake up in Communist Russia this morning? The quote comes from Philadelphia Police spokesfolk Sgt. Ray Evers [via philly.com] re: the re-arrest of John Solomon. You may remember Mr. Solomon from this post: “Officers’ safety comes first, and not infringing on people’s rights comes second“. Same again, only the Philly po-po are out of friggin’ control. Literally. To wit . . .
