How to minimize the risk of Being a Police Brutality Victim
Please note that I am not in any way justifying the excessive use of force against anyone. Neither am I denying that there are cops who are just plain unqualified to be in the police force due to being emotionally and psychologically unstable. What I am saying is that we as citizens must behave in a rational way in order to reduce the risk of provoking such officers. That should be plain common sense-right?
Unfortunately, there are certain citizens who seem hell-bent on doing just that-provoking some kind of a negative reaction from these police officers via refusing to cooperate with simple demands. Not saying that they are legally wrong in refusing. However, considering the negative possibilities involved, isn't it best to take matters to a court of law instead of risking physical injury? To a rational person, the answer might seem obvious, but apparently to these Kamikazee Police Provoker Freaks, it isn't.
Here are examples:
Police officer:
"Please lower your window mam."
Female driver:
"Am I being detained?"
This escalates until her window is shattered and she is dragged from the car screaming police Brutality while screaming that she did nothing.

Police officer:
"Please let me see your driver's license and insurance sir."
Driver:
"I don't have to show you anything at all."
This escalates until the driver is physically pulled from the car and maybe tasered.

Driver:

A driver is told to pull over. He stops, leaps from the car and starts running. He winds up screaming for mercy with a police dog's teeth firmly affixed to his ankle.
Is all this really necessary? Is it really irrational for even a decent police officer not to conclude that the driver is looking for trouble? As a driver and a civilian, I have always kept myself safe from the police having to conclude that I am looking for trouble. Why? Simple, because I know that if I give that impression, I might get a baton on the skull, be thrown to the ground handcuffed, thrown into the backseat, and wind up in jail. So in order to minimize that possibility, I cooperate by providing the info requested and calmly answering the questions required.
If indeed I feel that there has been any unfairness involved, then I prefer to take it to court. That is the safe and the sound way to go about things and if more people proceeded that way, there would be far less incidents of the kind in which people get hurt either justifiably or unjustifiably.
