I think your own line of thinking prevents you to hear what I am actually saying.

Throughout this discussion I've emphasized human behavior and psyche rather than the abstract law and I even went to lengths to explain how and why bench trails are different from jury trials.

That despite all that you still think I am making a purely legal argument devoid of human behavior is disappointing. I think you should reread what I have been saying with an open mind.

Anyways, this is a busy trading day for me. So later.

Since the market is closed, I'll take the other side. I think if you had to go on patrol at night and deal with people today, your tune would change real quick. Idiots today are too quick to run, punch or pull a weapon on a cop. The cop that hesitates and gets blown away doesn't get much press from the liberal media but the one that makes a mistake is all but drawn and quartered for the next year.
Give an inch and they'll take a mile is so true now. In the old days, cops generally were respected and obeyed. Put your hands up meant do it or he had every right to mess you up or worse and it worked. Period!!!! If it was abuse, you were alive and could bring charges afterwards. Again, it worked.
Now every punk thinks they can fight and resist and the odds are that they'll either get away or get a big settlement to cash in so the problem just keeps getting bigger while cops are getting killed too.
Imagine stopping someone for a routine traffic violation but ending up in a gunfight.
It's especially sad that they have to take shows like LivePD and Cops off the air because it was too obvious and counter to their agenda that one group of people ran or fought the police 80-90% of the time vs the other group of people.
If I had my way, I'd declare that anyone resisting immediately just signed their death warrant. We'd see this trend end real quick. Fight the law in court afterwards, not at 2 AM.
As for anyone carrying a weapon into a riot and being viewed as instigating problems. Try rioting and burning my town and I doubt there would be anyone local NOT there armed to the hilt ready to stop it. Like some said, I guess it depends on what you're used to and where you live. That crud doesn't fly here. A cop ran into trouble not too long ago with a punk passing through from St Louis. Tried to fight the cop. Driver saw it, stopped and dropped the guy. No charges and declared a hero. Rightly so. Now we don't have to house, feed and worry about repeat offenses from the punk. Maybe the next one will cooperate too.
We need to make cooperation the norm instead of trying to win the lottery from a fight or this is just going to get worse until everyone has had enough (and we're close already) and vigilantism is going to go mainstream. I am amazed that people will turn a blind eye to riots, burning of cities but then act shocked that people are willing to step in and stop the anarchy. What is wrong with people. Rule and order should be the norm, not chaos. It blows my mind.
