I’m more inclined to believe that they believe they can push a cops buttons precisely because they know the last thing most cops want to do is resort to lethal force.

I doubt their thinking is that complex. They're simply being impulsive, reacting moment-to-moment, with no clear plan or thought for longterm consequences. (Longterm, as in beyond the next 15 to 30 seconds.)

If I wish to kill my neighbor, I don't have to collude with a rabid dog that might bite him. In fact, it's impossible to conspire with a rabid dog - after all, it's a rabid dog.

But it is possible to change the rules of the game (through legislation; through getting "my people" into positions of power; through controlling the media) to engineer it such that my neighbor, when confronted with a rabid dog, will have to bend over backwards in attempting to remove the rabid dog from his property without injuring it.

The "rabid dogs" in these cases aren't "gaming the system" to their advantage (though I do believe that they are gradually growing aware of the fact that they have more "leeway" than they did in the past in resisting Law Enforcement Officers).

Rather, it is the Leftists who are instrumentalizing this human trash for their own purposes.

Regards,
