Hot legal take: Kyle Kashuv maybe shouldn't complain about being questioned at school

As Twitchy reported earlier, Parkland shooting survivor and Second Amendment advocate Kyle Kashuv was questioned at school Monday after posting photos and videos of himself at the gun range with his father and a shooting instructor over the weekend.

Kashuv reported that an armed school resource officer and a second security officer began questioning him intensively, “aggressively asking questions about who I went to the range with, whose gun we used, about my father, etc.” That’s when a third officer from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office walked in and began asking the same questions again.

I can now check off being wrongfully questioned by law enforcement off by bucket list.

National security lawyer Bradley P. Moss responded with this hot take:

… No offense, Kyle, but you were just complaining the other day that law enforcement sits on its hands too much. https://t.co/gdtOgKoFLm

— Bradley P. Moss (@BradMossEsq) April 24, 2018

Um …

Yes, on actual threats to the community. https://t.co/pC5oz70evp

That was one fantastic mic drop. Adjourned.

Oh wait, Moss wasn’t done.

What you're learning, Kyle, is that what justifies police scrutiny is not as cut and dry as we all would like. You can't say cops should never scrutinize you and at the same time demand they be perfect in determining who they can lawfully scrutinize & that is an actual threat.

Sometimes they're going to do some due diligence work that might ruffle feathers, but nothing more. There are actual and serious deprivations of constitutional rights that occur. Finding the balance to protect us all and those rights at the same time isn't easy.

No idea but this is my entire problem with the people who on the one hand don't want law enforcement to ever come near them and at the same time want law enforcement to have perfect anticipation of who will be a threat and be all up in THEIR business.

— Bradley P. Moss (@BradMossEsq) April 24, 2018

Did he just say, people who “don’t want law enforcement to ever come near them”?

Gee … is it possible that something that happened pretty recently that showed Kashuv and the country that certain law enforcement officers maybe were sitting on their hands when immediate action was demanded? Ring any bells?

… No offense, Bradley, but you aren't the brightest bulb in the socket, are you? https://t.co/mr4ej6aj5Q

Oh please he went to a gun range legally with his father and firearms instructor. There was no need for law enforcement to even intervene, It was simply harassment

Are you really defending the questioning of this boy by the school resource officer AND another uniformed officer? And, do you fail to understand the inappropriate manner and nature of the questioning? Sad and amazing… it is clear to any rational observer he's being targeted… https://t.co/loFbBfdPsZ

Yeah, harassing law abiding citizens lawfully exercising their 2nd Amendment right in a lawful establishment really should be at the top of the LEO's list. No real crimes that could be addressed, like drug deals or gang violence. Yeah, I can see your point. #lawschoolrefund https://t.co/704GYUpQrv

It's called bullying – there was no "due diligence" – there was no threat or probable cause – this was a "serious deprivation"…but then again, Brad you are speaking for the deep state – so no surprise here – the Constitution apparently applies less to those you don't like

Having a legitimate complaint against law enforcement for not doing their job after identifying a legitimate threat (Cruz) is very different from purposely intimidating a student for advocating for gun rights by practicing firearm use with a professional and his father. (Kyle)

Great. The police are fantastic grilling law-abiding citizens yet seem to drop the ball when it counts. https://t.co/wl0bg2oOOg

Sits on its hands in the face of actual, abundantly clear, potential threats as evidenced by multiple incidents/actions profiled as 'reasonable cause'.#DontBeDaft https://t.co/VLD8D43cxr

There were no threats moron. He has proven his character already. This was a complete invasion of rights. He was showing he was learning safety.

— Huerta (@momtozachamber) April 24, 2018

He went to a shooting range. He didn’t threaten his school.

Update:

All’s well that ends well, although we give full credit to Kashuv for keeping things classy.

Wow, OK, I wish you luck Kyle. If you think I was condescending, you’re in for a rough surprise in the years ahead. I’m glad you remain safe.

— Bradley P. Moss (@BradMossEsq) April 24, 2018

Thank you, sir. God bless you. https://t.co/BudH8Ga1V9

Curious how you can see that Tweet as not condescending.
