Another unconstitutional belch from Cleveland police president

Recall that the president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association called for disregarding consideration of the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Ohio, as well as state law, by having a "state of emergency" declared by Governor Kasich and restricting open carry exercise of the Second Amendment.  Well, it seems he said more than was in that story.  He is even more explicit with his demand that the law mean nothing:

“We are going to be looking very, very hard at anyone who has an open carry,” he said. “An AR-15, a shotgun, multiple handguns. It’s irresponsible of those folks — especially right now — to be coming downtown with open carry AR’s or anything else. I couldn’t care less if it’s legal or not. We are constitutional law enforcement, we love the Constitution, support it and defend it, but you can’t go into a crowded theater and scream fire. And that’s exactly what they’re doing by bringing those guns down there.” 

So much for enforcement of the law by law enforcement in Cleveland.
