ThatHorrorGuy 07/17/21 12:47:15 PM #1:	Not a poll since I can't make one apparently, but say a cop is needlessly aggressive, including having already assaulted you. For the sake of argument, let's say you're guilty of a minor offense, on the level of jaywalking. Should you comply? Should you make a scene? Should you run? Should you resist arrest? --- Joyrock/OctillIery/DSFlashlight <cite>ThatHorrorGuy posted [p:956177452] in How should...
