rehmwa 2 #26 October 1, 2009 Quote So how do you ever know if it's a fake cop or a real one? One acting righteously or one with nefarious pupose? Do you just always comply or do you assert yourself and preemptively kill the cop? Blues, Cliff "Yes judge, I just assumed officer Smith was a fake cop so I shot him in the head - just in case. so can I go home now?" Cliff - I don't think having an 'instant excuse argument' like this is your get out of jail free card you might try getting to know a few local cops in your area as friends to help you get over your issues surprisingly enough, if you play pool and talk about life with a couple cops, you totally forget about the extra fingers and the gills they have that indicate they aren't real people instead of aliens. ...

downwardspiral 0 #28 October 1, 2009 A friend of mine who is white and works as a police officer in Watts bought a beat up old Geo Metro to save money on gas for his commute. He told me he got pulled over a couple times a week because if you're white and in Watts, you are there for only one reason. Also he mentioned that off cuty cops get no special priviledges in Watts because if your an off-duty cop in Watts, you're there for only one reason. This conversation came up because we were talking about The Shield and how it is the most accurate cop show on tv according to him.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #30 October 1, 2009 If I feel my life is in imminent danger. I will always conduct myself in a professional manner and act like a gentleman if I encounter a police officer who feels the need to arrest me. Shoot at me for no obvious reason, pull a knife, hit me with the car and all bets are off. I figure this way there is no mistake about their intentions. Before anyone gets all upset, remember I have quite a few cops as friends and they AGREE with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know which sounds less appealing, dumping to cops or befriending them. Quote It helps with the process and really sets them up later for some real wagers. In that situation, I think I'd prefer a less obvious hustle that doesn't require me to dump all night in order to cash in.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

robskydiv 0 #36 October 1, 2009 When I was working for TDOC, an inmate once told me that he was riding in a car with a known felon. The cops pulled them over and decided to arrest them both. One officer began to use unnecessary force on the man who was being taken in without any cause at all. He told me that he dropped to the ground, leg swept the officer. He ended up neutralizing the threat (He beat the $hit out of both of them, took all their weapons, threw them into the police car and drove off.) Know what he was charged with? Stealing the state vehicle. The cop's own video camera had recorded the entire incident. The cop had a history of roughing up those he had arrested.

Ion01 2 #38 October 1, 2009 Quote If in a situation of unlawful arrest ,how much force is it legal to use in resistance? How much force would you use? Blues, Cliff Easy....if you resist then you just broke the law by resisting which basically makes the arrest lawful. If it is unlawful then you use the law which is to sue.
