Whether you 'blame him' (?) or not for making the choice to resist arrest and fight the police, he still necessitated more force from the officers in order for them to keep him under control. The correct response when you are approached by the police is to be calm, answer questions, make no sudden moves, and accept the handcuffs if they come out. Be reasonable. If you're actually worried about becoming a victim, and aren't just looking for excuses to resist arrest, then you're better off complying. Your chances of being injured or killed during an arrest are higher if you're fighting, shouting, and trying to escape than if you just accept the arrest and let it go to court. If you just accept that you got caught, accept that the police have the lawful right to detain/arrest you, and accept that you will have your day in court...you will be much better off. No, actually, the correct response when you're being swarmed by police officers when you did nothing and you feel threatened is to defend yourself. If they go immediately to this level of force, they're responsible when someone gets spooked. Make a scene, make it known you're being abused, and don't rely on a justice system we know isn't reliable unless you're rich. --- Joyrock/OctillIery/DSFlashlight <cite>ThatHorrorGuy posted [p:956177319] in Black Man ...
