Part of me wonders if the cops will stay out of it if our side is winning when the beating starts. I think I know the answer, part of me still wonders.
Yes, you know the answer already. That’s why Obama and Holder had to marginalize the police force, first. To allow thugs and “teens” to run wild and create as much havoc as possible, without immediate consequences. Which is why one has to be even more selective where you go these days.
It’s essentially a green light to fight back.
I’m stone confident of the answer to your hypothetical. My advice - act accordingly.
