Here lies your first problem. In Chicago, it's most likely than not that people who aren't in police or security uniform that are armed aren't legally able to be armed.
I addressed that. Moderator cut: trolling It's sad how many of the most vehement 2A supporters are so willing to ignore the rest of the Constitution.
As I keep trying to tell you, the bulge, the way you carry yourself, the way you walk, and the way you act are all specific and afticulable facts. This isn't a hutch. What I just listed are common indicators of someone being armed. There are even videos on it.
Again, the bulge, the way he carried himself, the way he walked, the way he acted, and the area he was in was enough to justify reasonable suspicion.
A trained eye can in fact tell if you're carrying a firearm. Also as I just listed before, he had the mannerisms of someone carrying.
Show proof he was carrying illegally. They knew him and did a quick background check?
The dude was activily trying to draw his weapon and shoot them. If you can manage to not draw on police, you should be good and not be shot.
Agreed. Once he did that he was done. Doesn't matter if the cop grabbed him. Make a move for the gun, the police have a right to defend themselves. He screwed up and he paid for it with his life.
"Augustus had a valid firearm owners' ID card, Johnson said, although no documentation that he could carry a concealed weapon in public. (In 2013, Illinois lawmakers allowed for concealed carry with a permit.)"
While the gun was legally his, he was carrying it illegally, unless he did had a permit after all.

They assaulted him first. He has a right to defend himself. It worked for Bundy.

lol I meant show proof the police knew that at that time.
