Maybe I’m mistaken, but I don’t think @[email protected] was saying the cop was right. I read the comment as a reminder that cops are, well, cops, so always expect the worst from them.
I rather politely argued with a cop once, and got a fat lip.
Regardless of if the cops are lying or not (they likely are) what, exactly, do you have to gain by resisting? It’s not like they are going to go “damn, this dude is spicy better back off.” You are going to be greeted with additional force.
Acknowledging that police and brutality go together like a fish and water isn’t excusing it, just saying that resisting is 100% of the time just going to end with you still getting arrested but now with additional charges and your shit kicked in
There’s no indication that the band leader did anything to lay a hand on the cop. Cops add that shit to the report by default, and if there’s video you’ll see they lied.

Because getting your ass extra kicked doesn’t make the cop honest.

Cops shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that
Why thanks. I tend to agree. :)

None of what he wrote was cop apology.
It’s self preservation
