Do they have a fail safe procedure for police officers dealing with a perpetrator resisting arrest?
“Do they have a fail safe procedure for police officers dealing with a perpetrator resisting arrest?”
Cops have a few tricks they like to use to get people to tense up. A jab in the ribs, standing way too close to you, shining a flashlight in your eyes, etc.
Then you naturally tense up and they attack you under the guise that you’re ‘resisting arrest’ sometimes even before you’ve been told you’re under arrest.
Myself, I want ‘resisting arrest’ charges to be immediately vacated if they’re the only thing someone is charged with.
It is utterly illogical to say someone ‘resisted arrest’ when there was no valid reason for the arrest.
That to me constitutes a fail safe.
I'm guessing that shooting them is not one of approved procedures.
Use to be the billy club. A couple of hits in the solar plexus and down you went.
