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...
I see.
I don't think there's really much sense discussing the point. Because, ya know, you're pussies.
If you ever decide to, like, stop being pussies, let me know.
Because a pussy gives up freedom for security, and tells me the wisdom of sacrificing my rights because if I don't the police will punish me. They'll tell me the police have a right to punish me. Not for actually breaking any laws, or even doing anything wrong... but effectively because the police felt like it.
Pussies who tip toe around the angry step parent becauseif they don't stay out of his way they'll get a beating they presumably deserve because... well.. the angry step parent says they do.
Right.
There's really no arguing with that kind of weakness.
But really, I suppose it's a benefit.
A much wiser man than I said that it is better to have a weak man as an enemy than as a friend.
And you don't get much weaker than adults who stand up for the rights of the authority to gas teenager girls in the face "so they can feel secure".
