I am no apologist for jackbooted cops. I think the feminaization of the culture has us a loooong way down the road toward jackbooted oppression BUT: What kind of faggot, making his point in this sort of situation thinks he is justified in fighting with the cops? In that situation I would have shouted out my points and let the cops haul me off (shouting). If you fight someone you are demonstrating your willingness to harm them in the service of your point
On the other hand, if I am sitting home minding my business and a sheriff pulls up and informs me that I am under arrest because my 3yr old, after a day at the beach, has a sunburn (this actually happened) THAT officer will be informed that no one is being arrested, no kid is being taken away from me and ‘are you, officer, on a hill, upon which, you are willing to die?
Fighting with cops who are merely doing their job is not an American right, and it isn’t terribly manly (or bright). The taseing, of course, probably flows more from the fact that many cops today are not physically able to wrestle with an adult male.
“probably flows more from the fact that many cops today are not physically able to wrestle with an adult male.”
I am not a LEO, but I am certain that I am physically able to wrestle down a good percentage of adult males. But, I would never do so unless an absolute necessity. You’d be stupid to take the chance.
