Navy veteran and firefighter John Cinque made national news when he told Connecticut state lawmakers he would not comply with new gun laws last year.
Since then, he has revealed that Branford Police Officer Joseph Peterson told him “I can’t wait to get the order to kick your door in.”
Peterson is actually one of the state’s most highly decorated officers, yet, he has made statements like this on Facebook:
“I give my left n*t to bang down your door and come for your gun.”
Upon receiving considerable backlash, Peterson disabled his Facebook page, although screenshots were obtained beforehand.
Peterson has been placed on paid leave while an internal investigation is carried out.
I’m sure he’s been placed on leave not for his anti-American, anti-second amendment positions, just that he was foolish enough to state them publicly…just a bit to early in the totalitarian takeover.
Connecticut man revealed shocking comments made by a Branford police officer this week who has openly defended door-to-door gun confiscation.After the tragic Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, Conn. lawmakers mandated that all “assault rifles” and “high capacity” magazines be banned, requiring all in circulation to be registered with the state. Fearing the obvious move towards confiscation, the vast majority of gun owners have refused to submit, with estimates finding less than 13 percent of rifles being registered.
Navy veteran and firefighter John Cinque, who made national news after telling state lawmakers he would not comply with gun registration, briefly commented on the officer’s statements in a discussion with gubernatorial candidate Joe Visconti last Friday.
“I’ve had contact with a police officer in my home town, I live in Branford, and his words straight out were, ‘I cannot wait to get the order to kick your door in,’” Cinque said.
In an exclusive interview with Storyleak, Cinque further detailed the disturbing comments made by Branford Police Officer Joseph Peterson, one of the state’s most highly decorated officers.
“It happened on facebook… he posted to a thread on my wall,” Cinque said. “I have known him personally for 20 years. He was interacting with other friends of mine and it was directly about the video.”
In multiple screenshots captured from the lengthy conversation, Peterson continually argued that law enforcement were not obligated to defy unconstitutional laws. Instead, Peterson stated that he would follow any order given, even if it meant confiscating firearms from close friends.
“But like I said I didn’t make the law,” Peterson told Cinque. “But if it comes down to that then I guess we see how you would respond…”
“I’m not going for any warrants… but if my dept gets them and we have to serve them I will see you then.”
As the conversation’s audience continued to grow, Peterson repeated his pledge, telling multiple people that he would never hesitate to carry out confiscation.
“So if they make a law confiscating guns… You will enforce it?” a Cameron Smith asks in a separate screenshot as Peterson reiterates his stance.
Angered by comments pointing out the state’s unconstitutional law, Peterson goes as far as to say that he would love to knock down Smith’s door personally.
“I give my left nut to bang down your door and come for your gun,” Peterson said. “Hey everyone Cameron is a criminal law breaking psycho.”
Receiving considerable backlash, Peterson quietly disabled his Facebook page following the conversation, although a screenshot was obtained beforehand.
Despite the inability of several officers to understand what a constitutional law entails, Cinque revealed that countless Conn. officers are opposed to the state’s ruling.
“As for the cops who will stand with the people… there are many,” Cinque said. “None have spoken publicly but in private i know many who do not like this one bit… they realize they are being used.”
“They are supporters of the Constitutional rights of the people, but they need to speak publicly soon.”
I cant wait to kick down their doors during the revolution…we wont be bound by courts and rules of procedures, I’m sure it’s gonna suck.For them !
More infringement
once again those designed to serve and protect over step their bounds. This is just another example of the militarization of the police forces and their resolve to ignore the laws and do whatever they please. This is again proof that the second amendment is under direct attack by a military agency which is ignoring the laws they were designed to enforce. This is the exact reason that the second amendment exists, to stop people like this over zealous lawman, who thinks he can enforce the governors will even though it obviously directly violates the constitution and kick in doors at will, search without warrants, and arrest anyone who doesn’t comply. This is what the constitution is designed to stop. A leader with no morals, using a military force to violate the rights of American citizens at their whim…..nope, sorry CT, but your governor is out of his damn mind and will likely cause the beginning of an un-winnable battle which will spread throughout the nation and result in the deaths of Americans, something which our present administration seems bent on starting. Bottom line is either guys like this idiot (and I speak from experience as I once lived in Branford, and the cops were out of control in the 80’s/90’s, needs to be removed from service and given a mental evaluation, or something bad is going to happen. Over zealous use of police and military personnel has led to Ruby Ridge, Waco, and many others, is this the trend you want to nationalize?
