Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.
Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.
While I appreciate this. It is accurate in what the law says. It's not really helpful beyond a point.
I think Americans need to quickly realize that their "rights" have been demoted down to the average black person. (I'd say before the civil rights movement. But really I don't think that's too much different given recent history).
The same lies and tactics used for decades will be used and justified on all of us now. And it will not stop there. That is just the first bar.
The same tactics and lack of due process is already escalating to the degree of how Israel treats Palestinians in the west bank (not that bad yet obviously). But there is a reason ICE is literally being trained by that genocidal state.
This is what we will experience. Fascism is just Imperialism turned inward.
So, while it is good to "know your rights" as it may for a time or a certain situation be helpful as a tactic. That is just quickly not making any difference anymore.
I really think we need more focus on forming forms of community resistance. "Your rights" are not going to save you. You need numbers and the pressure of your community that has your back. This is the time to get to know your neighbors and the people forming resistance in your community. That is where we are. The law, state, and your "rights" matter less each day.
The day is coming when they will treat some chosen Blue city like Gaza, and burn it to the ground. They'll think it will send a message, but as usual, these Dumb Apes will send the wrong message.
Sadly, it won't be the first time the US dropped bombs on its own citizens.
