This thread is meant for responses of LAWFUL resistance.
I have had numerous discussions with friends and other activists about resistance of unlawful detainment and arrest. Others here have discussed it in passing, and I am curious as to the thoughts and opinions of whoever cares to share.
IMHO, in recent years, the police have turned the court system into their free pass for unlawful detainment and arrest of otherwise law abiding citizens. Generally, the citizen will eventually give in to the bullying tactics presented by officers who want nothing more than to push their personal agenda and fight the battle in court. I think this is getting out of hand. I have seen numerous videos and stories of this happening, and its an unfortunate waste of the "justice" system. The offending officers are generally not held responsible for their crimes, and walk away without punishment. While the offended citizens are left to foot the bill.
I understand that some believe in passive resistance, while others believe that one should never resist.
My beliefs are simple. It doesnt matter if you are a police officer, mayor, preacher, DEA, FBI, CIA, President, etc. If you assault, detain, arrest, or seize property unlawfully...You are a criminal. There is no badge, certification, quaification, or anything else that gives anyone the rights to violate mine.
My question to all of you is would you resist an unlawful action taken against you by an officer? How far would you take it?
I want everyone who reads this to know that I do not condone unlawful resistance. These questions are meant to bring discussion of resistance to a known unlawful action.
