Imagine the world if other jobs were allowed to physically assault people who were shitty towards them. Imagine if your cashier at Walmart was allowed to beat the f' out of Karen for getting in her face-- without the possibility of losing a job.
Imagine if cops were held to the same standard as everyone else.. I mean, they should be-- most people working a normal job don't have anything on them that could kill another human quickly.

That gun he or she is wearing is not only a threat to the person a cop is confronting, not being prepared at any second to having that weapon taken from them could mean the end of their life. Think anybody at Wal-Mart faces that reality? Or anybody else in any other job?
Here's a solution, don't "get in a cops face". That is not a "right" that one has. You have the right to question your detention or arrest in a court of law, not on the sidewalk. If one understands that and plays by the rules, 99 out of a hundred go home.
Imagine if Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta had merely complied with officers after testing positive for DUI. Instead, he decides to not only fight but fires a taser at one of the officers who if it had hit the officer in the face would have surely don't bodily injury if not kill him.
Imagine if George Floyd had not decided he would resist either being put in or taken out of a patrol car as he was order to do. Does that give a cop license to cause his death of course not but imagine if Floyd had merely complied.
I see that a newly hired Black DA can't find evidence to charge Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown as bad as he and millions of people wanted him to make up, excuse me, find.
Imagine if Michael Brown had complied with the police officer and didn't decide to charge a police officer pointing a gun at him.
Imagine 99 out of a 100 incidents of Black men being shot by police both Black and White police had they merely complied with commands by police something you are compelled to do by law.
Imagine what a more equal outcome of justice we would have in this country if those confronted by police in 2020 not 1950 but 2020, would merely comply with police commands but no, in 2020 the media and Democrats are telling citizens that they have a right to question their detention or arrest and even fight police if they feel they have been "unjustly" detained.
Now imagine Black militia's patrolling the streets of a city like Minneapolis, answerable to no one but their leaders and they have to shoot and kill a Black man because some fool will decide he won't be taken into custody. What then?
