I would encourage any “community activist” to go to any major city in Latin America and stand on a busy street corner waving a knife at people. When a law enforcement officer arrives on the scene, walk toward them with your knife.
I suspect:
A. You will understand as soon as the officer draws their weapon, even if you don’t understand a word of Spanish or Portuguese, that they wish you to no longer assume a threatening attitude or posture toward them.
B. Most places you’ll get about 2 steps before the officer fires. It may take more than a double tap, cops there don’t get as much target practice as cops here do, but you’ll be going down for good.
C. Assuming you are smart enough to live and assume attitude of complete submission, they’ll most likely want to discuss the matter with you most harshly in some alley or field on the way to incarceration. This will hurt; a lot.

No. Really. Your fingers would thank me. :)
You forgot to end your post with “Any questions?”
