>Usually they greet this advice with something between skepticism and puzzlement, until I remind them that the police go armed to enforce the will of the state, and if you resist, they might kill you.
Really seems like they are missing the obvious answer:
IF you don't want to die, don't resist police orders. Do your resistance in the courts.
- jessaustin 10y agoAre you talking about our present reality, or perhaps about some alternate universe in which good lawyers are inexpensive?
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoIn our present reality, if you try to resist the police using physical force rather than the courts, it may not matter to you if good lawyers are free. You may not make it far enough to hire one, because trying to get physical with the cops is a mind-blowingly stupid idea! Don't do it. If you have to show up in court with a bad lawyer - or even representing yourself - do that rather than trying to fight the police.
- mikestew 10y agoIf you have to show up in court Statistically, there's over a 90% chance you'll never see a court date. Because, see, if you don't sign this plea deal we'll just make shit up to pile into the existing charges. Maybe your day in court will let you dodge that triple life sentence, or maybe you'd rather just cop guilty and take the 90 days.
