Video Shows Man Getting Punched by Cop After Resisting Arrest in Harlem

Tough crap. If you are in a country, you abide by that country's rules... they are called laws. Don't like it, move to where there are no laws. Till then, your BS notion that killing cops enforcing laws as acceptable is just ridiculously childish tripe.

I heard Mogadishu, the Canadian Tundra and Siberia nice this time of year. I think instead of donating to the forum, we should all pitch in and buy Henrin a one way ticket to one of those places. That way, he won't be bothered by pesky laws of any sort.
 
Oh. So you shouldn't pontificate the question and if answering the question may actually benefit society? You know like: "have you seen this man." Or "have you seen this child." Or "did you hear anyone arguing at this time last night?"

You are under absolutely no obligation to answer any question from any police officer. You do know this, right?
 
I agree with this. That's exactly how passive resistance is supposed to work: Publicly provoke and then accept the arrest.

Yeah, I'm thinking a rally in Central Park, then a march. The issue would be would there be enough interest in something like this in New York to get a large enough turnout to make a difference. That's why I think the lawsuit approach would be better, as was used in the District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago cases regarding the Second Amendment.

And? Just because someone isn't obligated does not mean they SHOULD refuse to answer. Life saving information? Something that leads to a break in the case?

**** me! Just because you have a right, doesn't mean that invoking that right makes you automatically "in the right" (morally/ethically speaking). When did people decide that they would rather invoke a right than do the right thing (morally/ethically)and put away known criminals?

Edit add:

And yes. I am obligated. By my own principles. When I see a piece of **** do something like shooting an endangered animal (watched it), smoking weed while driving (seen it), drunk driving (seen it), or threatening to fight and stumbling drunk into traffic? I am morally obligated to report that and give information to the police. I ****ing hate criminals. I hate people that abuse the system designed to protect law abiding citizens. I hate people that take advantage of others out of some narcissistic or just plain stupidity or evilness.

When the government decided that anything I say and do will be used against me in a court of law.

And yet they may not give a **** about you and are asking you important questions to solve a time sensitive case like murder or kidnapping.
 
There is no such thing as fascism in our CJ system. Everyone gets their day in court, hell...some people even get free legal counsel. Yea sooooooooooo fascist. Give me a break.

There is such a thing as fascism, even in a place that has courts; particularly since Jury Nullification is so villainized these days. Government makes the laws and uses cops to enforce the laws; why would America be immune from the threats of fascism? If the courts are made to serve the State, then you can still have fascism.

So now you have something like a knife being made illegal, and that being used as justification for a cop to pick a fight and arrest a citizen. Rah rah, State! Republocrat fascism at its finest.

Unless I have sound reason to believe speaking will help my case I'm not saying anything to a cop. I don't trust cops, I don't want to talk to cops and I don't want to be around cops.

:eye roll:

Are you actually stating America is fascist?
 

You have no obligation "to help society" or for that matter engage in any contact with them, and the picture applies. What you feel you're obligated to do and what the law says are your obligations are two entirely different matters. Please don't get them confused. The rest of your rant is irrelevant.

It is a good thing not everyone feels this way. If they did...we would have no society.

Democrats want knives to be illegal, not Republicans.
