It can be. But I personally have no problem if this country is basically a big police state. Is it ideal? No.

It is true though. In most situations (most) their had been someone escalating the situation with police when someone gets shot. You don't have to be a genius to know how to deal with them, but it seems like you might have to be these days. Sure, people have been killed for absolutely nothing like in Minnesota, but that has rarely happened. Even in these cases when they argue " HE WAS COMPLIANT!!!" Nope. There was a confrontation, argument, and escalation.

If I get pulled over and arrested, I will silently get out of my car, lie down, be taken to the station, then deal with any injustice in a courtroom with an attorney. If you give the police the slightest defense when being arrested, you've already lost your case. I don't care if you're screaming in pain, that's enough for you to lose a court case because that looks like resistance on video.

In almost every police shooting, there's an instigator. That's how you get shot. If you start whining saying " I didn't do anything!! What am I being arrested for?" You're instigating. Do you have the right to know why you're being arrested? Sure you do, but that right isn't the best route to take this day in age. We won't win this battle with police during traffic stops demanding that we exercise our rights. We win this fighting the system through the system. Every time I see one of those videos of someone being pulled over, barely rolling down their window, and making the officer mad, I get more infuriated with the person recording. You can't exercise every single right whenever you feel like that. I have the right to free speech, but there are plenty of times when you just need to shut up.
