It seems to me that if a police officer jumps on your back, initiates physical contact, shoots first, etc., that they should lose the protection of the badge. Any situation which they instigate should allow you to respond as if anyone else had attacked you.
It would be immensely satisfying to turn around and beat the hell out of her, maybe bounce her head off the tile floor a few times until her eyes rolled back in her head.
Of course you'd be crucified by the other police officers, and the media. Not only would you be a violent crazy person resisting arrest, you'd be a woman beater.
Exactly. She has complete power in this situation.
You disobey a direct order from a police officer (in this case "Stop") and wonder why they subdued you?
Police are too empowered. They should need permission or a warrant to even touch someone. Otherwise cases of abuse like this will continue to be more common.
And if officers need permission or a warrant to touch someone, you're going to wind up with A LOT of dead police officers and criminals running around.
Big deal. The current search and arrest warrant systems let a lot of criminals go free and cost a lot of lives, but it prevents police abuses. This is just taking it one step further.
So you're saying the current system lets lots of criminals go free..so we might as well let more criminals go free -- and kill off some cops while we're at it?
I must say I disagree 100%.
Cops would be forced to retreat from threatening situations rather than escalate them as they currently do. They could return prepared to deal with the threat once they had proper authorization.
Oh hell..you're hopeless.
Or sarcastic. Or stupid. I can't quite tell which.
