Militarized Police and Citizen Missteps.



Check out this vid.

The people that posted this video will want you to believe that the police over stepped the bounds and that this was an unjustified arrest.

Bullshit.

When asked to present an identification by Police you must comply.  If you believe that Police are acting unjustifiably then you have the right to file a complaint or law suit later.

This guy crossed the line when the officer tried to place him under arrest and prevented him from handcuffing him.  At that time he officially RESISTED ARREST and if he injured or in the case of him resisting caused the officer to injury himself, that little game of patty cake would have turned into FELONY RESISTING.

Additionally the female YELLING in the background was also wrong.

But this goes back to the issue of the people and its Police becoming divided.  Do you remember the OPEN CARRY movement?  People legally walked around with weapons on their hips in order to spark a police response.  I believe we're seeing that movement evolve into these little run in's with police.

My prediction.  Its gonna get much worse and one tiny spark will ignite certain cities unless these minor run in's are managed properly.
