How about "generalities", then?
It would certainly help those of us who are positioning ourselves to be the next folks who LEOs "try to make an example out of."

The "generalities" asked for are the basic facts of the incident. Any additional details will be forthcoming. One must be patient - all in due time.
As to how to position oneself should you be involved in an incident? Be knowledgeable of the law as already discussed on this forum, including open carry (two supreme court cases), reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime to justify a Terry stop, probable cause, Hiibel v. Arizona (on providing identification), Miranda v. Ohio (on providing statements absent a "Miranda" warning). If necessary, have the officer call for a supervisor.
It all boils down to how confident you yourself feel in handling such a situation. Also, do you view a police officer as omnipotent, or just another human being?
Will Dickson City get slammed? Will Wilkes-Barre get slammed? You betcha!
