    Your assertion that being arrested is somehow a violation of anyone's rights is absurd.
    Especially when the person being arrested has just discharged a firearm in public.
    (Police harassment is a thing, but not as pertains to this story.)

    Being arrested doesn't mean you're guilty of anything. It means a police officer has probable cause to think that a criminal investigation is warranted.
    It is up to a judge and/or jury to decide if a law was broken, not the police.

    This is completely wrong. Totally ignorant of facts at hand.

    What you've just described there is NOT the law in Florida. The law in Florida grants a person the right to stand their ground. Being arrested for asserting that right IS a violation of rights.

    If you can't even understand that an arrest is not a conviction, then why did you even start a conversation about jurisprudence?

    EDIT: Florida police have every right to arrest you for suspicion of anything. They DO NOT get to be judge and jury and decide whether or not the stand your ground laws apply. That's other people's jobs.

    Stop moving the goalpost. Your original statement was that "arrest does not equal a violation of rights". That's just wrong.
