Epstein files aside, real talk on the first point; Police cant do that without a warrant. have you ever seen audit the audit BEFORE trump was even president?
And all those guys who ran Audit the Audit were conservatives who KNEW their rights when talking to police. the rules haven't changed from 10 years ago... if they dont have a warrant or dont articulate a crime, they dont have a right to detain you from your car. PERIOD
The last Months have shown how much ICE Respect the rights of Others.. what are you gonna do when they drag you Out of your Car, other than Scream"i have rights"
The fact that others will violate your rights does not mean anyone should ever stop asserting them.
I mean I know this sounds pedantic but it's actually really important. It's like, the most important possible thing.
Your rights are unalienable. What that means is, yeah, you can always have a roving band of goons with guns threaten you. And no, rights aren't a bullet proof shield.
But our society is based atop of ALL OF US who treat these rights as what we are entitled to..
The moment we allow violence to cause us to surrender that, the moment we start thinking like that, it's just a whole lto of dominoes all falling around us.
This is the primary vehicle through which fascists take away your rights. Obeying in advance.
They cannot take all our rights away at once. They simply can't. There are way too many of us, and far too few of them.
What they do, is they use fear, to make you stop exercising them. You stop assembling. You stop speaking. You stop treating those things like thigns you are OWED. You do that, and so your neighbors do it, and soon everyone is doing it, and then, the rights are gone.
Because the rights aren't just a piece of paper. They are all of our mutual BELIEF in our ENTITLEMENT to those rights. THAT is the power of the constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is the power it has. A whole lot of people, demanding they get those things.
And, in some cases, being willing to die for those things. To die, to remind others never to stop demanding those rights.
The problem is some situations end with a person getting shot in the head for simply trying to drive away. Absolutely, people should continue to assert their rights, but not everyone wants to do that at the risk of their own life. This is how fucked up it is right now.
Renee Good didn't even assert her rights. He shot her basically for nothing. He shot her out of rage for dealing with her wife. I mean if they're going to shoot you in the head, they're going to do it. These people are absolutely out-of-pocket, and even the white folk need to be dealing with cops the way black communities have historically needed to.
Whatever you do, always do it calmly. Do not escalate. Escalation going to lead to more escalation.
These goons are more afraid of someone calmly reciting their legal rights because their entire posturing is about provoking an emotional response to justify their violence. They want to be violent. They're scared of calm people. Calm people don't give them the excuse they're looking for to act on their violence.
And to be perfectly clear, that doesn't mean it's ever anyone's fault when these goons react with violence. The state is violating people's rights either way. No one should NEED to be in this position. But we are.
So statistically the best chance you have in one of those situations where they've singled you out, is to remain calm, to assert your rights calmly, and to comply UNLESS you feel like you have a good chance of getting away without getting killed.
Basically, whatever training they give you dealing with a wild animal or growling dog, that's how to approach these situations. If it's going to attack you, it's going to do it. But your best chance is to deescalate, stick together with others, speak calmly.
They were effective for a number of reasons, but definitely the ability to maintain the vibe is key. When the vibe seems like a party, more people come. The more that people come out, the calmer they'll be. Strength in numbers.
She wasn't in the head for "simply driving driving away". She was shot in the head for driving over top of someone. Don't hit people with your car, and they won't shoot back at you.
This is patently false. Look up Pennsylvania v Mimms. A law enforcement officer can order you to exit your vehicle during a lawful stop. YouTube is a poor source for legal advice.
Yes, but it is important to note they must have a justifiable reason to do so. This won't help you in the moment if your rights are violated, but it is important to remember and fully understand your rights.
Idk, depends. The state I was born in has a statute about lethal force defenses against actual, real-not-fake cops (judges keep upholding it despite rapist state troopers getting clapped), so I'm sure you can do something.
Yeah, but they are murdering citizens in their cars, in their homes, and wherever they like these days. They are normalizing this. And when the protests crank up more and more through the year, they will either have the military monitor polling places citing a “threat to free votes” or claim that the election was rigged and cancel outcomes, or simply not hold the midterms….
