Me, I never call the police except to pick up a DEAD BODY. Never call the cops on your troubled children because Police only make matters WORSE. Kids need HELP not police with guns and jail keys! Those are the only toos they have, and most don't want to be counselors. "Defund the Police only means fund mental health help too!!

When people 'resist'... are they really resisting a legal 'arrest' or resisting further pain? Did they TELL you that you were under arrest? You can't "resist arrest" until they tell you you're arrested!
Most cops don't deliberately confuse actual events by claiming you're attacking them so they can beat on you. This is a real dilemma when dealing with rogue cops, though. Best thing you can do is talk gently to them, assure them over and over, you're cooperating and let your actions show them.Do aggressive police care when they hurt you?? Or are they using rough treatment on purpose, as their own "street justice"?

And prosecutors rarely prosecute the very cops they depend on to help them win their court cases! (This is why the FEDS should investigate police abuse, not county prosecutors who look the other way!

This study is worthy to read it because it was controversial and upset a lot of people. This is a case why the cop didn't get charged with murder... and that upset a lot of people in America, some of whom took to the streets, and caused the coining of the phrase "Black Lives Matter." Read it.
