Encounters like that usually end up bad.
The cops here are very polite. I have been arrested 3 times (in the time drug use was a crime) and they always asked "please take a seat on the car and accompany us to the station". Politeness goes a long way.
These guys in the OP are like Anarchist, right?
I suspect they WANT to get arrested.
There was a guy in full BDU's toting an M-1 Garand and a 1911a in open carry - marching up and down Westnedge Ave (a shitload of malls and such) in Kalamazoo MI - in about 1989 or so.... (I happened to see this genius at gun show, bragging about it).
They asked him if he would like a ride home. (This part I got years later - from the arresting officer -who I worked with at a gun shop)
Apparently Garand boy had some sort of "point" he was trying to make - but the cops I guess were too dense to comprehend.
They did eventually arrest him for brandishing. Of course resisting arrest and striking an officer ended up getting added....
Like a dumb drunk - Garand boy was proud of his display of shitheadedness...
Go figure.
But don't expect it to make sense.
Batshit crazy rarely does.
