Let's say I'm downtown shopping. I step out of a store, and find myself looking at a group of police in riot gear, walking in my direction.
Pretty safe to say, they're not after me, but are there for somebody or something else. Now, if I go up to them and bug them, it would be expected that they'd probably do something to detain me- be it cuff me or mace me.
Doesn't mean I'm a victim of Authoritarianism- it means I'm just sticking my nose into crap I shouldn't be.
Exactly!
I was reading every post and I'm stopping at this one because you're leaning the direction I am on this one.
Listen, the ass bag martyr that started this thread doesn't realize that cops are put into bad situations all the time. Just because flower lady doesn't look like she's about to do something to them doesn't mean she COULDN'T HAVE.
You're on the FB&HW forum, the same guys who said "if you don't want to be shot by the cops, then don't be running around with guns at 2am!" (paraphrased)
You PUT yourself in those stupid ass situations then YES, something will happen to you. I have yet to be peppered sprayed because I understand some simple principals of life.
One of which is to NOT GO UP TO A GROUP OF COPS WAIVING ANYTHING.
Doesn't matter what you're waiving...just don't do it.
Otherwise I suppose robbers should just walk around with flowers...
