Idiotic Sovereign Citizen smacktalk has consequences. Here’s a tip to such fools: Be polite and respectful to the cops. Comply with their instructions. Record the interaction if you wish, and then, if you take exception, sue them. Don’t bring a spurious legal argument to a gunfight that your failure to comply provoked.
Exactly
As a former cop I was trained to not become “provoked”. This “don’t provoke the cops, politely comply”, feeds into the thin blue line credo of “follow my orders or you risk bodily harm so I can return safely to my family tonight” and is dangerous to freedom. The driver, while being a jerk, did not pull his open carry legal weapon yet 4 cops jointly opened fire when one allegedly saw a holster. Where was the de-escalation techniques they should have learned in training? Backing away from the vehicle and opening a dialog would have most likely had a more desirable result. Situational training, Constitutional rights and a more thorough understanding of the laws of your jurisdiction is needed by our police forces. Sorry, I’ll get off my soap box now.
