I would not have gotten tasered because I know when it’s appropriate to submit to appropriate authority.
This cop is has legitimate authority delegated to him by the State, which has been delegated authority by God and affirmed by our society.
The cop’s requests were neither unreasonable nor unlawful. Add to this his reasonable fear for his own safety, and he was well within his rights to do what he did.
I would not have gotten tasered, because I would have submitted to his reasonable requests.
Of course, the anarchists among us can argue against authority all you want. Your rebellion does not negate legitimate authority....
“which has been delegated authority by God and affirmed by our society.”
HUH?! Our government gets its power from the people. People get it from God. Key word for this situation is ‘people’.
“Of course, the anarchists among us can argue against authority all you want. Your rebellion does not negate legitimate authority....”
A uniform and black boots do not equate legitimacy. Again, the power is with the people. If the people choose the the ‘authority’ will cease to exist. Hopefully this should be done through non-violent means.
