Well, for my part (and my part only; let every man suit his own desires) I'm not going to stand on my rights to the point where violence is the result. If a cop infringes my rights, there's a time and a place to seek redress. And I'm certainly not going to engage in brinksmanship, as this victim apparently did, with an authority who has the power to injure me, or worse.

They do not lawfully have that power. What you are describing is fear of arbitrary violence from unaccountable tyrants.
