I have always ASSUMED that if you run from a cop, when he is trying to arrest you, that he/she CAN shoot you. I never realized that is is OK to resist arrest and run. Now I find out you can run, hit the cop, struggle with the cop, injure the cop, and the cop gets blamed. Well for 64 years I thought you can’t resist arrest or run, and you could be shot dead. Sure kept me out of trouble all these years! never been arrested, assumed cops have guns for a reason.
and I HATE cops. We live in a small town where cops are rude, smartaleck, hateful, arrogant, mouthy. They are uneducated, illiterate. and they think their sh!t don’t stink, as my dad used to say about rude people...
You assumed wrong. If you have a broken tail light, or if you are coming down your apt stairs in the dark, and a cop shoots and kills you, do you think that’s right?
