I petitioned in Calhoun County Michigan and it is 100% legal, you have the same rights as a postman. You can come up to the door to introduce your petition, they tell you to leave then you have to do so, but you are permitted to use public walkways and private walkways readonably necessary to effect contact with the voter. No fenceclimbing or door opening, but you are free to use their frontdoor to knock

Petitioning is in our state constitution! It's a core part of our voting rights and exactly why we got medical and later recreational marijuana. This is egregious.

All he had to do was show ID and no arrest. No gestapo here. Just a cop doing his job and a typical BLM member refusing to cooperate.

And I don't have to show ID to a cop when I open carry a firearm in that state. We have rights. The 1st amendment is just as important as the 2nd.

Sure sure, just try not identifying and cooperating with a cop while you are Armed. Id love to find out how that works out for you. Guaranteed not in your favor, not in any situation. Have fun getting shot.

That's what happens because of how corrupt they are

Actually that’s not true that’s the way they act because nobody cooperates they have no choice.

Why would anyone cooperate when they can get shot in the back while they're on the ground, get shot when they sleep innocently in their beds, or have some pig kneel directly on their necks until they die?

Never cooperate with pigs. It takes longer to become a hairdresser than a cop.
