So Tamir Rice gets shot and killed over a toy gun even though he harmed no one but this guy gets to murder people, march down the road with his gun and gets to go home?
If people had rioted over Tamir Rice you'd probably see like 95% support
There were protests. No, there was not 95% support. There was even less of a reason for Elijah McClain to have been killed. Where is the support?
McClain resisted arrest
And wasn't in middle school
There was NO reason to arrest him. You don't arrest someone for walking home from the store..........unless you are black of course.
You arrest people for not following commands...?
Certainly don't struggle
Guy was either crazy or just so angry he was in that moment manic
Yes, he had social anxiety issues. But cops are going to learn that you don't assault someone while doing nothing illegal just because they do not jump when you say jump.
We will get there or the country will burn.
Again as soon as he failed to follow commands he was doing something illegal
No he wasn't.
It was his fault he has ******* anxiety not the worlds
Cops did the right thing. Even sent him off in an ambulance instead of beating teh shit out of him and putting him in a cell. Maybe the paramedics killed him or his anxiety. Wasn't the cops
The cops only assaulted him which lead to the rest. If they had left him alone like they should have none of it happens.
Failing to follow a lawful order is illegal
Now had he said get on your knees and give me a bj yea he'd have a right to not comply
All he had to do was stop and look at them, then sue them
It wasn't lawful.
Yes it was....
Your redress is suing the officers not struggling.
No it was not. He had done nothing wrong and the police had no reason to believe he had. In that case they have no lawful reason to stop you.
It doesn't matter. If a cop tells me to stop I have to stop. Whether i was doing something wrong or not.
That's how our law works.
I'm sure there is a legal phrase for it that google would reveal. You don't seem to understand how our law around policing works.
If they want to detain me and I physically resist....that's resisting arrest
Whether or not was a good arrest needs lawyers. As a citizen I have to submit.
No you do not. It's sad how many people do not know their rights. Unless they can express a reason for a stop you can tell them to screw off.
Yea you can SAY it
You can't actively resist if they make a bad arrest
lol
Your right is to sue them for the bad arrest. Not fight them in the street. WHat the **** is wrong with you?
You can. You are allowed to protect yourself from an assault.
When a cop does it, it's not an assault bud
Yes it is. The police are not above the law. There have been many lawsuits over police assaults.
How this eludes you I have no idea.
You need to call your lawyer if you believe that. Or if he told you that, get a new one. Pure ******* stupidity
"i have a right to resist arrest". Under no circumstances. Simply fleeing is a crime
He wasn't "fleeing". He was walking home minding his own business.
Yea he actively resisted, so much so they instead of taking him to jail for resisting decided to put him in an ambulance
lol
had he just calmly let them arrest him, he probably coulda got 50k outta it
edit - not even calmly, just non violently.
You are admitting he could have sued and won. That is going to stop. Cops are going to learn their place. No, you do NOT simply cede your civil rights to anyone and you should never have to.
Yea he could have, until he resisted.
You need to talk to your lawyer. You are going to get hurt if you really believe that and are a younger man

DO NOT RESIST ARREST, SHUT UP, MAKE NO FAST MOVEMENTS, AND WAIT FOR YOUR LAWYER OR BAIL HEARING
Unless you're gonna run, in which case you better ******* make it. Only rational way it makes sense to half assed resist (as in not try to kill/incapacitate the cops) is if you think you can get away by doing it.
Maybe black America needs classes on what their rights are AND HOW TO ASSERT THEM. Which you do with lawyers not your fists
