ORIGINAL: slaveboyforyou quote:
Operating on gossip, rumors, distortions, pseudo-expertise and misinformation isn't being free, it is being a slave to ignorance. Some of these incidents prove what I have been saying all along... police abuse is an example of what those second guessing would do if they could ever get a badge and a gun and some authority. Backpedal all you want, I gave no such advice. I simply said that people have the right to question orders from the police and they do. If a police officer stops me, they better have a damn good reason for it. If they detain me, they better have a damn good reason for it. Anytime a police officer requests to search you, your home, or your vehicle without a warrant than your answer should always be NO. I don't know why people think they are immune to things like this. Police officers pull this kind of crap on people all the time. .... .... So I don't trust the police. I don't trust any government official to do the right thing. No one should, and when people start excusing this kind of behavior....they are asking for a police state. You are embarrassing yourself. Here are your exact words. quote:
A cop can't shoot you legally because you refuse to take your hands out of your pockets. I don't know where you got that morsel of knowledge at, but it's not true. After being provided with many examples from court rulings to actual cases, showing that your blanket statement was not always true, and that there are times where it would be very much legal for a cop to shoot someone in self defense under those circumstances, you revealed that you didn't even recognize the most fundamental Supreme Court ruling on the matter, claimed you knew all about it but couldn't come up with the name, and ran away 'bored', only to dredge it up again here. In that same thread, you were repeatedly disingenuous about what the law is, about law enforcement not being dangerous, and dredged up straw man after straw man claiming that those who debunked your bogus information were saying that police brutality was wonderful, followed by logical fallacies from projection to false claims of your own expertise. In the midst of all of that, you refused to answer questions about why you wouldn't do something proactive like Diop and his project. In other words, you trotted out every single behavior that corrupt cops do when caught ...spin, denial, mis-information, appeals to authority, refusing to admit to their own behaviors, etc. Which is why I don't trust self proclaimed 'experts' on the internet to tell me what the cops can and can't legally do...I find out the facts about my rights for myself.... And when I read cases such as the OP, I'm comparing the details to benchmarks such as previous USSC bus cases, the original airport scenario search and seizure ruling, the latest standard for linking minor offenses to expanding a search, etc., and then seeing how the rationalizations offered up compare. Sorry that you have such a problem with others thinking for themselves.
