I don’t think he was talking about a riot situation.

What was initially an ever so slow inching along closer to the police state keeps picking up speed and is now lazily galloping along....

Too many cops are willing to beat you, taze you, throw you to the ground and even shoot you if you don’t appear to be groveling sufficiently.

Americans to both our great credit and frequent frustration just don’t like being told what to do. If it’s a policeman telling us to do as we are told....it’s our choice as to the consequences
To: Rusty0604
I think you should do the opposite of what you are told by this guy.

“you don’t have to submit to an illegal stop or search. You can refuse consent to search your car or home if there’s no warrant.”
These two sentences include so many footnotes and conditions that they are meaningless. Especially about “warrantless searches”, “no knock searches”, “exigency searches”, “anonymous informant” and “secret government surveillance” searches, “dog authorized searches”, and “illegal search but still admissible in court” searches.

"Just do what I tell you" is the other extreme position. No ... we will not "just do" what you tell us unless you are operating within the constraints of the law yourself. We have rights; you work for us.
