Or how about the irony of someone that regularly complains about the power of the state taking no issue with the state summarily executing people in the streets?
Why is it that when talking about welfare and other social programs conservatives can't express enough how evil the government is, but when it comes to the cops violating civil rights their response is "these protestors should settle down?"
It's real simple sport, Do what the cop say when he says it. It's not a debate, you don't have the right to protest, you don't get an appeal durning an arrest. That is what court is for.
The cop's primary objective is to have complete control of the situation and all parties involved. So the first thing a cop must do is identify an potential dangers. For instance someone acting nervous for any reason in a car. the cop is not to try and figure out why, just remove the nervous person from a potential danger in the car. so the person is asked to step out. if the person does anything besides step out, again primary mandate takes over control the situation. the officer must escalate the situation, any reaction besides submission results in some type of physical force or restraint by the officer. if the person resists or fights back again the officer must continue to escilate the situation first to be on the surviving side of a violent encounter, so the situation is escalated again. No matter where a person is in the escalation of a fight cops are trained to be one step ahead.
You are at a zero confrontation level, a cop is at be ready he may make a move.
you are at offended, the cop must be cock and ready for a fight.
You are thinking about where or not you can take this guy (even if you are going through the motions of compliance,) the cop is at applying non leathal force/disabling you.
You take a swing and depending on what action he has already taken, he shoots.
Those who see unfairness in a police officers actions simply do not understand the dangers of the job nor the mindset/how they are trained to work.. In a douche bag society everyone demands to be treated to who they are as individuals. unfortunately when dealing with criminals, everyone must be treated the same. Meaning everyone is treated like a criminal until a safety threshold can be establish by the officer. When all potential threats have been neutralized and the cop has control of the situation, it can only be then that you can be treated as an individual again.
Approach as an alpha, demand control and fight for it.. get shot.
If this was a race thing then why is it black cops shoot black people? Why is it white cops shoot and kill white people?
As far as protesters are concern they can do whatever they want within the confines of the law.
