Arrest for Dancing in Jefferson's Memorial

[Sapphire]

If you don't want to have violence used against you, then don't resist arrest. How, in any way, do you think that helps the situation?

You just defined democracy and the government in general, "I have an irrational attachment to bullshit, and I will punch you in the face if you disagree."

I'm not gonna repeat myself about the Civil Rights thing. I'll be the first one to take your side when I see an abuse of power from law enforcement, but that's not at all what happened here.

Really, that's all? How many government corruption and abuse of power videos from the last 3 years do you want me to show you? 30? 60? After some point, enough is enough, - and this isn't directed at you - but indoctrination and cognitive bias is the only thing that stops people from seeing that there's a better solution to all this.

We discussed this line of thinking at work today. As a future law enforcement professional, personally if you explain yourself I'm more likely to let you go with a warning, than if you refuse to answer and appear "uncooperative" then I'll think you're hiding something or trying to get away with something. In my book, if you show some remorse and guilt over what you've done, especially in victimless or small crimes, then I'm less likely to want to punish you.

This is completely true based on my experiences.
