> Waite was separately convicted of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence after he was accused of striking a deputy with his elbow when they arrived to arrest him on the wiretapping charges.
> Waite surrendered after a detective shocked him with an electrical device.
> “Waite did not demonstrate a lack of good faith and should have complied without resorting to violence,” the judges said.
Love this double standard. Armed men can show up at your door, shackle your wrists behind your back, and haul you off to a cage, all in bad faith, but if you resort to meeting violence with violence, you're the one who gets sentenced.
- Cacti 3y agowe generally agree as a society that police, military, etc. have a monopoly on the use of force. That is kind of the entire point of the system.
- smeej 3y agoI don't speak for your society, but this isn't true of mine.
- piloto_ciego 3y agoTo be clear, where is your society at and are you guys taking people from mine? Lol, because people getting the utter shit beat out of them by the police irrationally and with zero consequences is remarkably common here in America. I have managed to avoid it, but I know more than a few people who’ve been roughed up in bad faith…
- metalcrow 3y agoWhat country are you in? I'd be shocked if any country allowed it's citizens the legal right to use violence against the government.
