    Cops aren’t allowed to go around tasering people for no reason. What you’re saying is good advice, but it’s an awful thing to say in response to this. Saying that innocent people (or guilty ones, at that) should just comply is total bullshit, it is textbook victim blaming.

      You are required BY LAW to comply. Why is this so hard for you all?

        If I’m just walking around, innocent of all crimes, I’m required to comply when an officer stops me? Am I required to let him taze me too if he claims I resisted? I don’t believe that’s true, though I wouldn’t put it past US cops. It’s definitely authoritarian as fuck if true though.

        The reason it’s so hard for us all is that you’re giving a pass to truly horrendous behavior, by blaming the victims of that behavior for not preventing it.

        Compliance haven’t stopped them from attacking people anyway, what’s so hard to understand about that?

          What point are you trying to make? That it’s OK to run from the cops? Stupid take

            Do you understand the proportionality principle?

            It’s absolutely okay to run from cops. It certainly doesn’t justify any level of force from the cops . Somebody fleeing is literally zero threat to the cops.

        Dude’s dead and you’re defending that, repeatedly and rudely, since yesterday afternoon.
