Also if Dash Ate, Bob Sacamano and IABD are peacefully protesting: the US, Tasers, and all around police activity, then Dash Ate decides to be violent, while Bob and IABD are still peaceful, all three can be picked up for causing a riot.
It is best to know the company you keep when you want to voice your opinion.
Hey why you dragging me into this lol If the three of us are hanging out, I'm sure we'd be out drinking instead of protesting.
Look guys, I'm all for the police having the right to protect themselves. They do not know the intentions of those people that are coming towards them. They have to exercise good judgment, however it's not a guessing game. Does he have a knife? gun? etc. They need to protect themselves, and the public.
Now, while I say this, like any other groups, you've got the morons, and the jackasses within the department. Every department has them*. As a citizen, you have to know that this exists, and don't go around looking to pick fights with police officers. I have personally seen police officers being out-witted during a verbal conversation with citizens, where the police officer felt their ego taking punch after punch, and you guessed it, once they felt cornered and in the spotlight, they reverted to taking the citizen down by force and arrested them. Well, they had taken the wrong person down and for the wrong reasons. Luckily, daddy's company had a team of lawyers who took the officer, the department, and the city down in court.
So kids, if you don't need to do deal with the po po, stay away. Know your rights, and for the love of god, if you've been drinking, just walk away.
