Police stopped a rifle-toting Michigan man last month who was apparently intoxicated and warning of revolution, but they eventually decided not to charge him.
Officers were called May 4 after several witnesses reported the man walking along a street in Kalamazoo with the weapon, and police stopped the man for a jaywalking violation.
The Kalamazoo Gazette examined police reports and dashboard camera video of the incident that showed officers trying to balance public safety concerns with the mans Second Amendment rights.

If he wasn't white, they wouldn't charge him either, but only because they'd have riddled him with bullets as soon as they saw him.
