On Sept. 12 at 8 a.m., came across a stopped vehicle with hazards on the left shoulder near John Hanson Highway and got out of his cruiser to help.

“Are you here to help her?” Sgt. Warrington asks the man.

“No, she’s taking me to the hospital,” he responded.

Moments later, he fires a single shot at the passenger who says he was getting a hat blown onto the road.

“Oh my God, what did you do? What did you do?” the driver screams out.

“He had a gun!” Warrington says.

“No, I don’t have a gun!” the man shouts, lying on the roadway.

    They’ll still just shoot you for not following orders. Especially if you’re not white.

      Unfortunately we can’t make it zero chance. You could always just sit there on the curb, oblivious, and get shot.

          Oh no. You most certainly can. If that officer doesn’t manage to shoot you then the next one will, repeat as needed until true. Unless you’ve got a literal army to fight off the national guard this does not end well. And as a reminder they get drones, attack helicopters, armored vehicles, and infantry squads with 20 years of experience in exactly this fight.

          I seriously implore you to think about how that goes, for you, and for the country.

      They will also give you conflicting orders (often on purpose, so they can claim resisting arrest), so sometimes it is literally impossible to “just do what they say.”
