Giving some moron with a badge less reason to point his gun at you is worth doing. Your life is more valuable than that. That's not safeguarding your principles. That's letting your pride and ego get you killed.
Well I don't understand it. Maybe I'm not meant to.
I'm not forgetting them. I am teaching them to never lay down. Thats what the enemy wants you to do. Give up and surrender.
I am who I am. There is nothing I can do to keep from having a gun pointed at me if thats what that "moron" wants to do. They are going to find a reason no matter what. That is clearly obvious and illustrated throughout history.
Why does the government have to put pressure on them? Cant they think for themselves?
When was he told that and why haven't you provided a link?
You would understand it if your ancestors were enslaved, jim crowed, and you were then subjected to police brutality
There are absolutely things you can do to reduce your likelihood of being victimized by the police. Quiet compliance. Yes sir. No sir. I understand sir. Cops love that shit. Why does it bother you? Use your manners to work your way out of potentially complicated situations. It's a tool that works particularly well on dumb people. You'll never see that moron again so fuck it.
You have to pick better battles man. In that context it is not the time to make a stand.
That's just a lot of words for what it really is. Inconsistency. Either you stand for something or you don't. You cant waffle just because you might die.
I'm not calling a cop sir. That's a term of respect and I don't respect most of the cops I have met. My only words are "am I being detained?"
You can't win in that context though. It's okay to recognize and avoid a battlefield that puts you at a disadvantage. I'm sure Sun Tzu covered this. Do you want to win or do you want to be a martyr?
You don't have to respect somebody to use a term of respect to manipulate their disposition in a way that benefits you. In fact I think that's a sign of the opposite.
I'm already at a disadvantage and I have no way of gaining an advantage other than not bowing. I'm not going to win by bowing. In fact that will embolden the asswipe to do it other Black people. I could care less about being a martyr. I'm not built like that.
Again its the principle. I use that word (sir) when addressing older men and peers that I respect. I have other ways to manipulate the situation without basically punking out. "whats your badge number?, Am I being detained? No you cannot search my car unless you have a warrant to do so." All these put the assholes on notice that I am aware of my rights and they are going to have to kill me in order to get their satisfaction.
What kind of scrounge wants money he donated back? Did you try that weak shit with Hillary when she made you cry?You cant even trust Drumpf to give back the money you donated to him.
The kind like you who Drumpf conned.
You conservatives lie a lot or lack reading comprehension so I cant take something you say seriously if you dont have the documentation to back it up. I have been burned before trusting you guys only to find out you were lying or didn't understand what you were reading.
