I live in Fullerton and I’m only a couple of miles away from the transportation center. Saw the video with all the witnesses watching and have a question.
If another civilian attacks me I have the right to defend myself. But if I am attacked by a police officer that same defense is called resisting arrest. Another person, coming to my defense would be charged with interfering with a police officer.
So what are my rights if I’m unjustly attacked by a cop? Must I wait for the courts to give me justice and hope that I won’t get killed or maimed? Am I legally required to endure the beating just because my assailant has a badge?
How to resist a beating by an angry small town cop:
1) Have cop friends who will stop him
or
2) Offer the cop your wallet and ask him if he will take a check
or
3) Bend head between legs and kiss your ass goodbye
I wonder the same.
Even further:
If a CCW uses force to save a civilian in such a situation ,then what?
Excellent points!!! I’d really love to know the answers to those questions.
