At what point does the right to self defense come in then.......pointing a deadly weapon at someone would be considered unreasonable and criminal in most circumstances until you toss a badge in the mix. Slamming on walls and face first into the ground, arm twisting, rib jabs, choke holds.........all reasonable under color of official authority :p
If an officer advises he is arresting you, he has probable cause to arrest you (in 99% of the cases, minus the bad apples). If you resist, even if you think we are wrong, game over for you.
And that is bullshit.
Fight in court...not on the street.
If you lose in court, you can appeal.
If you lose on the street, you go to an ER or the morgue.
If you win in court, your lawyer makes money.
If you win on the street, backup is coming.
Be safe.

Before that gets misconstrued I think cops have a tough, crappy job, I applaud those willing to do it and would not consider doing that job for that amount of money but that doesn't mean I don't see trends I don't care for and want to change or even just bitch about. I understand reality, I don't understand defending a bad reality. It is what it is but it was something different before, it can certainly be something different again.Quote:

Perfect? Not in this life.
Some things are worth dying for and some are not. Theses are choices we all make.
Oh, and the Constitutional right to pursue happiness is the guarantee that allows Americans to Bitch...Long, Loud, and Frequently! We are damn good at it.
