When reading a pro-gun blog post by a guest author who is a police officer wrote on how to handle being stopped by the cops, there was a fascinating sub-current in some of the replies that would seem to suggest something other than verbal non-compliance with a police officer’s requests. :banghead:
Don’t. Doesn’t matter who you are, if a cop has stopped you, physical resistance is only going to end badly. Possibly with you dead. Game over. No respawns. :banghead:
The idea is to be successful in any encounter with an opposing force, police included. Ending up dead is failure. Ending up in jail is failure. Ending up in the back of a squad car is failure. Ending up with a warrant for your arrest is failure. :banghead:
Being a <deleted> to a police officer is not a strategy that will bring success under any circumstances where you aren’t a violent criminal at the end of it. A criminal record is also failure.
Protest verbally all you want, but physically do whatever the officer says unless you are convinced that doing so will be immediately fatal for you. Don’t get killed. Don’t end up with a criminal record. Honor and pride are worth less than both of these things. If you don’t agree, well, Somalia isn’t that far away if you desire to live an an area that doesn’t have any truck with ‘rule of law’. If you like the benefits of a first world nation, swallow that pride until you are no longer in the presence of an officer of the law.
Some of you talk of ‘rights’ like they are worth dying for. Generally speaking, the rights have already been paid for by the blood of others before us. En mass, they are respected. Rarely, <deleted> happens and they are not. Your death will not solve these exceptions. Staying alive and fighting the battle in the courts is much better for you than fighting it in front of a cop car.
Just don’t be an idiot and cut your nose off to spite your face. Remember what matters to you in the long run.
