GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - An open carry advocate is planning to bring some gun-toting friends to downtown Green Bay this weekend in response to a police incident last weekend.
Charles Branstrom says he'll be with a small group at bar close early Sunday morning on Washington Street openly carrying firearms.
“Everybody I know has a cool head, I don’t see a problem with it,” Branstrom told FOX 11. “I guess it’s up to Green Bay police if it’s going to turn bad or not.”
Branstrom says it's designed to show opposition to how Green Bay Police Officer Derek Wicklund acted in a now viral cell phone video.
FOX 11 asked Branstrom why he is holding the event, and what his gun-rights message has to do with the video.
“We’re doing this just to show that we’re not going to stand by and let police brutality happen,” said Branstrom. “It seems to be a growing trend.”

Branstrom is so, so right. Police brutality, impunity to the law and terrorism among police is on the rise.
He's also right when he says if there is trouble it will be started by the police. Further. I'll these guys are better shots than the cops, too.
Maybe the cops should concentrate on a seat belt "campaign" that day and collect revenue instead of toe tags.
