To assume you know more about the law than a LEO does might be a tragic mis judgement.
You have very little "rights" when you put your hand on an officer......at that very moment, he has every right to defend himself.
When you wrestle with a LEO and expect to "win" you prove you are a very very shallow person.
You can be as smart a **** Tracey, but you push on a cop and you are just being **** at that point.
I would venture to bet that the amount of cop brutality cases versue the amount of times they are engaged with the public is less than one tenth of one percent as a nation.
We have GREAT officers in our small towns, many are family to the town.
My dad as chief arrested 150 or so people over his first and only term.
In a town of 650 voters he only lost by less than 50 votes.......goes to show.......most people, given the light of day and a sober slumber, realize the just how stupid they where the night before

Good point. What happens when a cop puts his hands on you? Should you be allowed to defend yourself or should you just bow to their self imposed authority? Granted I am talking about a cop acting out of line. To me it has nothing to do with cop or not. You threaten me and I will defend myself accordingly. You wearing a badge just lets me know you have a vest on and I need to make head shots. PERIOD.
