Red Flagged Michigan Student?
« on: February 21, 2020, 06:59:53 AM »
Student was arrested and held in jail without bail for 83 days. Then released and  confined to his parents home. No contact with internet or social media as terms of his house arrest.

Student is an eagle scout. And was in college studying law enforcement as a major. PD came to his dorm and searched his room and car. Rifle was stored in schools security safe office as per school rules. He had a baton that was in his room which was issued by his class, it was confiscated along with rifle.

His RA felt threatened by post below. They had prior political disagreements and he blocked the RA from his social media.

According to the school, he posed an immediate danger. Yet no alerts to any students or anything were given.

I wonder if he is still pursuing law enforcement?

He posted a pic of his new AR saying "it would make snowflakes melt, as in snow".

Standard procedure for Cops to "process you through the system"
even if you did nothing wrong.  It costs you time and money.
They just want to make a point, they can EFF with you as they see fit
and there is nothing legally you can do about it.
Cops are a necessary evil and I don't have to like or trust them,
but everybody I know has stories, very few are good.

Resident Advisor.  Another student who is in charge of the dorms.  They enforce rules and stuff like that.

The article also left out that his father drove 5 hours to the college when he was called.  Father is a retired O6 Marine.

I'm sure the person who complained will not face any financial losses.  This student worked hard his entire life and is going to have to go down a different path.  Becoming an Eagle Scout is no easy task either.

If I spent a couple months in jail I would sue somebody, guaranteed.

More like, another example of "we have to be overly strict and arrest anyone who gets reported to ANY authority.  if they are innocent, they will have the opportunity AFTER THEIR LIVES ARE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN to defend themselves."

Due process?

This is not a process.  It's punishment based on allegations alone.  The Cops are doing what the law allows.  If that means arresting and holding a student who did nothing illegal, but who "someone" believes (or pretends) is a "threat to the public", then by all means, treat them as if they actually did the things "someone" said they are afraid MIGHT happen.

I think most politicians (i.e. all Democrats and most GOP) are about to take bribes, sexually harass a staffer and/or commit campaign finance law violations.  Let's arrest them all and do a thorough background check AND a mental health evaluation before allowing them anywhere near our government.

An older version of a hall monitor, with enhanced power fantasies, perhaps?

Very judgmental considering that you don't know many of the facts of the story.

Only a cop would say something like that.

We get it. Rights and freedoms make your job much more difficult than if you could lock up people whenever you want just for disagreeing with you. Cry me a river.

The problem governments are trying to solve is the existence of your freedom.

The irony of being JUDGED as "very judgmental".

You can't get any more hypocritical than that.   :rofl:

No, I don't. But I am also not making any judgements or determinations like you are.

Because only cops are objective?

Because I want to know both sides of the story and don't automatically believe someone telling a story that fits a political narrative I must be a cop?

It is only part of what really happened, it is only one side of the story. I want to know more before I judge

Feel free to look, but you wont find anything

So just for giggles, assume thats all there is, was this red flag justified in your opinion?
