If a police officer stops you and is in the process of writing you a ticket for a jaywalking infraction, you are not free to walk away. You are being detained for committing a violation that was observed by the officer.
Now, if you simply walk away while this is happening, the officer will use necessary force to detain you. That includes grabbing you. If you then proceed to push the officer away, the response will most likely be you being wrestled to the ground.
So spare me your Comrade crap. If you want to argue the law or the legality of a jaywalking ticket, bring it up to the judge in court. That's what courts are for. Pushing the cop is not the right answer.
Thank you for proving my point. We are not free.
“Last night (January 14), the PBS program Frontline aired a documentary entitled The Secret State of North Korea that drew heavily from footage collected by a group of underground videographers. Among the scenes captured in that documentary are two encounters between women and soldiers acting as police officers. (The Communist government in North Korea, unlike the proto-totalitarian US regime, doesn’t cling to the fiction that the military and police are separate entities.)
In the first confrontation, a woman running a private bus service is accosted by a soldier who attempts to issue a citation. She is angrily and openly defiant of the uniformed bully’s “authority”; at one point, she actually shoves him several times and treats him to a well-earned outpouring of verbal abuse before turning back to her work. The second incident involved a woman who refused to accept a citation for wearing pants in defiance of a mandatory dress code. “
Fancy that “refusing to accept a citation”.
“angrily and openly defiant” of a government employee’s authority.
But you, it would seem, love the Authoriteh.
The notion of liberty terrifies you, which is why you seek to “educate me” with the State-approved response.
