AUSTIN, TX – A medley of gun rights advocates have all collaborated to file a civil law suit against the Texas Department of Public Safety Region 7 and the other state troopers who were involved in initiating these false and unjust arrests between 2013 and 2015.
Jacob Cordova (Open Carry Tarrant County), CJ Grisham of (Open Carry Texas), and Terry Holcomb (Texas Carry), are among the team of 9 activists that are going to attempt to use the corrupt justice system to fight back against this injustice by filing a civil suit on Monday.
Here is the press release.
(Austin, TX, August 21, 2015 – Between September 13, 2013, and April 17, 2015, Region VII DPS troopers falsely arrested and violated the rights of Terry Holcomb, Amos J. Postell, Justin Delosh, Gary Hays, Christopher John Grisham, Scott Smith, Kevin Jacob Cordova, Travis Kuenstler, and Joseph Walker. The troopers initiated trumped up charges of everything ranging from “disorderly conduct” to “criminal trespassing” and “resisting arrest” in an effort to prevent citizens from exercising lawful activities in and around the Capitol. These arrests were blatant violations of their 1st, 2nd, and 5th Amendment rights. All but two of the charges were dropped by the district attorney and those other two charges are still pending a hearing.)
The Plaintiffs will hold a press conference outside the Travis County Courthouse at 4pm Monday at the entrance to discuss the lawsuit and answer questions.
Travis Kuenstler was arrested with a shiny silver plastic toy gun in the Capitol and placed in a cold cage, Joseph Walker ” The Kilted Texan had a blue rubber gun at the Capitol and was arrested and incarcerated, Mr.Grisham had a shiny toy gun while talking to others outside the Capitol was grabbed, cuffed and jailed.
by these DPS bullies. Mr. Holcomb’s arrest for a Black Powder pistol. Gary Hays was pulled out of his wheelchair on Veterans day and also taken to jail for a Black Powder Pistol. The other guys were arrested while wearing pre-1899 replicas Black Powder Pistols also which according to the state of Texas are not even considered firearms. So will the ‘just doing our job’ defense save these tyrannical henchmen? With a strong triad in the justice system where the Judge, the Prosecutor, and the Gestapo are all in alliance with each other this is going to be a historic battle, deep in the heart of Texas.
