Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- Â A police officer from Somers Police Department in New York has been caught kicking and then taking a pro-Second Amendment sign from the yard of Jon Gibson of Lake Lincolndale, New York.
Gibson’s sign said, “Protect the Second Amendment,” with a silhouette of an AR-15 across the top.
It had been stolen three times previously, so Gibson installed a camera on his rural property to catch the culprit. He said he was shocked that his camera captured photos of an officer in uniform kicking and then taking the sign.
Speaking to Fox News, Gibson said: “I was in total disbelief to see such criminal behavior from a law enforcement officer.”
Somers Town Supervisor Mary Beth Murphy says the sign was taken down because it was withing 15 feet of the road–a “right of way” violation by city ordinance. She said the photos of the officer kicking the sign were taken when he was trying to loosen it to pull it out of the ground.
Gibson refutes this claim, saying he’s never received a citation or warning that the signs were in the right of way. He also said: “This isn’t about the Second Amendment. My First Amendment and even Fifth Amendment rights have been violated.”Â

Cop on someone’s property with no warrant,trespassing,destroying property, and a half dozen other thins that are breaking the law and claiming to enforce the law. This is the law the gun grabbers want. If the homeowner and shot and killed him, in SC, it would have been his right. That is what this bastard need. I would have killed him before his feet touched the ground.
Don’t blame the police “officer”, he was just obeying orders. That is normally what mercenaries do. And we are assuming that the oath he took when he was hired as a cop included defense of the Constitution. The town might be Progressive, which would make his oath to the Glorious Revolution. Police as mercenary enforcers for the Party. This is a key reason why the Party wants to eliminate sheriffs in favor of hired LE. Sheriffs have a duty to the people who elected them, hired muscle does not. May this mercenary have nothing but misfortune. May he die a… Read more »

This is what this so called free land has become. And us as a people need to make a decision of what we are going to do about all the NASTY people running our business. I know they think its their government but it still belongs to all of us… History will always repeat it self remember that. so its time to take a stand. Remember what the students did in the early 70’s…there has to be blood shed to change shit in this country…Good luck…
