The only issue is the respect of legitimate authority.

The police officer is the agent of the State authorized to enforce the law.

When he stops somebody (technically an arrest), the person so stopped is to respect the authority of the State.

If the person refuses to stop, they are not respecting the authority of either the officer or the State and its laws to govern the people. Worse, if they attack the arresting officer, they are rebelling from legitimate authority and are felonious.

This is the fundamental problem within today’s black community. Urban gang mentality places their allegiance to their gang affiliations before the State or its laws. Worse, many identify their race with criminality to laws of the State symbolizing their social power. This type of mentality is criminal and promotes organized crime as a counterfeit substitute for legitimate authority by our Constitution.

Accompanying this ignorant criminal legacy by many identifying themselves as liberal, is the mistaken notion that the criminally guilty are righteous until a consensus is met to socially declare them guilty.

This is also a consequence of moral relativism, confusing the foundational differences between liberty and justice.

Our Puritan forefather wrote tomes on the topics.

IMHO, the further one strays form Judeo-Christian thinking, the more likely they follow the pattern seen in the Middle East promoted by Muslims, the American black gangsta, and American liberals.
