Every one of these "police brutality" incidences have one thing common:
the suspect resisted arrest
It's pretty simple, really.
If you don't want to place yourself in an unpredictable chaotic situation, don't resist arrest. Whether the law is "right or wrong" in any given situation ("big tobacco" taxes are bullshit!) is totally irrelevant. Sometimes the police may use "excessive force" (total political bullshit, unless you've walked a mile in their shoes) trying to restrain the suspect, but that's what happens when you give the law the finger.
If you don't want to lose an eye, use safety goggles.
If you don't want to get yourself shot or mauled by a dog, don't break into someone's home.
If you don't want to get yourself killed or badly injured, don't resist arrest from instruments of the law.
Pretty common sense stuff, right?
Nope, not in an entitlement society.
The fact is, unless a cop is caught shooting or beating to death an unarmed suspect with his hands up totally unprovoked, a jury is not going to convict the cop.
That would set a TERRIBLE precedent allowing the inmates to run the asylum. Frankly, I honestly couldn't put it any better than this:
"If you're black, surrounded by white cops, resist is a way to survive!" face)(*^%
Enough said.
Fuck Holder!
Fuck Sharpton!
Fuck Obama!
And fuck every other sanctimonious race-baiting POS -- they're the biggest 'racists' of them all!
So Eric Garner should have to follow the rules or face the consequences, in this case death, but the cop does not have to follow any rules and should be applauded. Yeah, that's real common sense stuff.
