This guy, apparently a former Ferguson cop (many people said this and he seemed to verbally confirm it), has been walking around outside #Kenosha courthouse with a Colt rifle bag, after yesterday showing up at the courthouse with a rifle that he was asked to put away.
After the man who showed up with a rifle bag outside the #Kenosha courthouse was confronted about the bag, he finally opened it.
Rather than his rifle from yesterday, he pulled out a black rubber sex toy.
He apparently was trying to appear armed to plan that gag.
To be clear, this is what he looked like yesterday before police made him put away his actual gun.
Here is my full video documenting the behavior of a former Ferguson cop trying to make a crowd believe that he was armed with a rifle he carried yesterday in a space it’s illegal for him to do so - all as an apparent “joke” outside the Kenosha Courthouse.

Earlier: Two arrested after brief fight outside courthouse in Kenosha.
Apologies for vertical video, I scrambled to get phone on; I have more (but not all) of what led to this on my HD camera which I’ll go through later.
As I post this, crowd much more agitated now.
Just for context - this was about an hour and a half ago now and the cell signal has been so shitty it just went through as I left the area completely.
The released version of this previously abridged angle shows Ronald Troyke murder officer Gordon Beesley from behind at 25 seconds in.
Johnny Hurley engages Ronald Troyke at 1 minute 25 seconds in, killing him.
Johnny goes to Troyke's body, and then off screen.

The Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office also provided a video showing Johnny's response to the mass shooter all the way from his time inside the Army Surplus store to him shooting the mass shooter through multiple angles.
THREAD: Today, three activist chained themselves to construction equipment at the historic McMillan Reservoir site in Washington DC to prevent construction crews from developing on it.
Police attempted to negotiate them down while saying they had no authority on the subject.
I interviewed @RosinaPhoto from through a hole in a fence while her hands were chained together in a lockbox connecting her to a piece of equipment.
She expressed doubt that the stunt will cause Mayor @MurielBowser to reconsider the development at McMillan Park, but had to try.
Activist @aeidinger talked to me about the history at McMillan Park.
It used to provide all the water to the city, and then became DC's first integrated park, before being fenced off in the 60s.
The city now plans to develop it into retail/apartments/parking.
Today at the Capitol, as police arrested enviro demonstrators refusing to leave an intersection, an officer put an arrest wristband on credentialed video-journalist @KarlaCotePhoto and arrested her as they would a protester.
Other press - like myself - were not treated this way.
Like most of the activists, arrested journalist @KarlaCotePhoto was let go by USCP with a citation on site, with an order to appear and pay a fine tomorrow.
She was wearing 2 press passes (NYPD and @NPPA) and carried two cameras when arrested.
Four minutes *after* arresting journalist @KarlaCotePhoto, @CapitolPolice warned that they would consider press to be part of the protest and arrest them if they didn't leave the activist-occupied intersection.
