"In every interaction with the police, ask if you can leave. If you can, count your lucky stars and leave. "
"count your lucky stars" is not what I'm paying my taxes for.
- retroafroman 13y agoI don't think he's saying 'be happy with the outcome', he's saying 'save your own skin and scramble, given the chance'. While us taxpayers have plenty of rights to be angry at being poorly treated by civil servants, getting into a fight with someone at the bottom will do us no good. Stories like this are the evidence.

- scotty79 13y agoIt's not "I'm paying so I'm buying." When paying taxes you are being extorted by definition. You are not paying taxes for anything.

- madaxe_again 13y agoYeah you are. You're paying taxes because the alternative is the state employing violence on you.
