  • In conclusion, it's not about being a sheep, wolf, or sheepdog. It's about seeing a situation on youtube that can easily be avoided by preventative measures. Anything that will get me back home making love to my wife. One single action on your part can keep this from ever happening to you.

    There's 2 kinds of men. Men that are brave, and men that are brave and smart. The smart ones end up fucking the widows of the brave ones.

    This situation happened to this poor guy so I could learn from it.

    Say you make it without getting shot by the 50 officers they send after you. Then you have to dedicate the next 4-5 years of your life to a court case to prove your innocence. The people involved with your case in either a small or big way are now in the thousands. What if something happens to the squad car video? Shooting a police officer is orders of magnitude more difficult than shooting a mugger. Good luck to you.

  • @noelsingletary

    Ok, so you'd shoot the officer. Have you thought of what happens next? They send every police officer within 15 miles after you and they shoot first and ask questions later. You have to figure out a way to turn yourself in without getting killed, and explain your actions to a 911 dispatcher. Now you've turned your 1 person problem turned into a 100 person problem. Your chances of success decrease the more variables you add to a situation. Again, I'd stick to one variable.

  • @noelsingletary

    Someone in an alley doesn't have a radio channel open to Police HQ, or a video camera watching them from a squad car. So if an officer threatened me, I'd be more than happy to talk him down. I do believe there are situations where you'd be justified in defending yourself against an officer, but my point is to try to avoid those situations at all costs.

  • @lioneagle86 I would say that about 70 percent of the people in this country are sheep and would never challenge authority. You have maybe 5 percent with organic mental illness such as schizophrenic depression and would have no problem pulling their weapon first. Then there are the rest, where they would have to be directly threatened with loss of life before shooting. I would place myself in this group.

  • @wskopper It's very good to know that there are still decent law abiding officers out there. But when SHTF, I would expect those officers to be at home protecting their families instead of beating the streets. What would be your opinion of that senario?

  • @lioneagle86 Like I said before. It is NOT the yelling. It is the DIRECT THREAT to my life. If I had done nothing more than what this citizen did and he directly threatened to take my life like this officer did, I would seriously be concerned that he would follow up on his threat. IF someone in a alley threated your life like that it would be considered jusifiable homicide. No difference.

  • @noelsingletary

    Lastly for some practical advice, I have a CCW card on me at all times that I carry. So if an officer ever asks for my license and registration, I'll just hand him my Drivers license, Registration, and CCW license at the same time. That way I'm notifying him without being awkward about it. People get nervous about telling police they have a weapon, and that seems like the sanest way to go about doing it. The world is a crazy place, so prepare for crazy ahead of time.

  • @noelsingletary

    I do agree with some your cooler headed points, like my right to life. I personally believe in going through life with a level head. Some things just aren't worth it, but some things are. Protecting yourself and the lives of family and friends from a threat is worth dying for. A verbal spat with a police officer isn't. The guy handled it well, that's why he didn't get shot by Officer Small Penis.

  • @noelsingletary

    There's ways to talk to people to calm them down. He doesn't need to have a stable mind, only you do. To put it in perspective I think you have a better chance of calming down the officer than winning in court for shooting him because you were threatened by his yelling. The way I see it, I have a brain and my gun, and most of the time my brain will do a better job. Maybe that isn't true for everyone.
