I may be a little slow on the uptake, but I wouldn't stand in the street in front of six armed police officers with a lethal weapon and continue to yell at them and threaten to take violent action.  I wouldn't ignore their calls to drop my weapon, and the only moves I would make would be to drop it, and assume the position.

You know, I hear countless reports about how badly police officers treat members of the minority community.  And then members of the minority community act as if they don't know what they are going to get, if they don't comply with officer's directives in life and death situations.

Oh my poor son.  Oh my poor husband.  Oh they were such sweet people.  Oh those police officers, my boy only had a long knife in his hand, a loaded gun, a baseball bat...

I hate to be the one that has to break it to these folks, but good sweet innocent people, don't confront police officers with these things.  And the people who do, we'll they catch hell for it.  Who knew?









Come on Freepers, if you haven't already, pencil yourself in.  Lets get this FReepathon over with.  Only 9.7% left to go.

You've already forgotten the multi jurisdictional task force event in Maryland where the FBI guy shot the Eagle Scout for, apparently, obeying police orders.

Then there was that New York city thing where the fellow obeyed the cops and brought out his wallet whereupon a couple of them pumped nearly 50 rounds into him. I think they had to reload to do that one!

As a general rule it is best to neither obey nor ignore police orders ~ and that's the problem. Just keep your hands in the air.
