Police Union Commissar: If You Resist, You Should Expect to Die

In fact, resisting unlawful arrest — while considered an actual crime, and prosecuted as such — is an ancient, venerable, and indispensable right of free people. Under the still-valid Supreme Court precedent John Black Elk v. U.S. (1900), a citizen has a legally recognized right to use lethal force to prevent the consummation of an unlawful arrest.

Note to bystanders watching thuggery by members of the world's largest criminal street gang: Shiny badges make excellent aim points.

Sorry Mike, couldn't finish this one. Vomited halfway through. Gee, I hope my involuntary, open display of contempt for lie enforcement doesn't get me into trouble. I don't WANT to die... but vomiting shouldn't be a CRIME!!!

This one's my favorite quote of the month though: "Like most exponents of that view, Lynch assumes that any gust of verbal halitosis that escapes the wet hole at the bottom of a police officer’s face is a “lawful order.” For this reason he insists that resisting arrest “is a serious crime, and must be treated that way by all.”"

Also, with a name like 'Lynch', you have to expect that he would rather all non-believers to lie cold, and prostrate before the ruling class... let me know how that works out.

Beautifully written text from article:

"If you resist, you should expect to die."

Maybe so, but in the meantime I will be doing what I can to take as many bastards as possible, with me when I go.

How's this, cops? "If you attack me, you should expect to die."

Me thinks they protest why too much. This press conference (if that's what you call it) reminds me of Pelosi telling everyone....we have to pass it before you can find out what's in it.

Sounds like a dire warning to me: shoot first and let the Courts sort out that it was an unlawful order ... over the cop's dead body?

We have been warned!

“There is an attitude on our streets today that it is acceptable to resist arrest,” lamented Lynch. “That attitude is a direct result of a lack of respect for law enforcement.”

What goes around comes around, asshole.

A sleep aid called Forgetfullness, historic DOOM1 and the failure that is SWAT2
Whenever a law enforcement officer draws his or her weapon from his or her holster something or someone has failed. For there to be representatives of the ‘law’ in a pack, crowded about a door ready to be smashed down, possibly toss a flash bang grenade into a playpen3, this failure has reached the level of catastrophe. Police are trusted by the people and trust them or . . .
In a republic where, supposedly, there is the rule of law, not men, a police officer is the human component of the interaction between that Law and the humanity that Law interacts with. A police officer, no matter what he or she is called, from animal control officer to FBI Special Agent, represents the people he or she serves. That ‘officer’ wears the uniform given to them by the people and is endowed with certain rights and responsibilities by those people or . . .
That this officer must draw their firearm or, in concert with others, firearms, represents a woeful failure, a total and complete breakdown in communication and trust between the Law and the People that Law serves. If you do not understand this then you are merely a human dressed in a costume and given the right, by other men, to carry a weapon and use it at the beck and call of . . .
The badge means something or, far worse, it means nothing at all. There is still a brisk trade in Gestapo memorabilia but I have not heard there is much interest in Berlin City Police badges . . .
History is morbidly obese with situations were, often silently, police officers have been forced to watch illegalities committed in the name of the law, suspicious persons gunned down in dark alleys or against walls, then ask, silently, how did I get here? Nothing done in Nazi Germany was done without at least the pronouncement of legality. Judges were judged in Nuremburg and some of those ‘laws’ still exist.4
Here is a question all law enforcement officers should consider with the same seriousness with which they consider firearm training; how many law enforcement officers does it take to arrest a large, black men illegally selling cigarettes on a public sidewalk?5
The answer is one. More than one is a failure. Far more died on that sidewalk than a ‘black’ man.
Here is a question for the Society that dresses certain of its members in the costume of a police officer, arms them with a firearm, and sets them out amongst that Society to enforce i laws: how should Society stand behind, beside or in front of that representative?
The answer is ‘as one’. The absence of Society in regards to law enforcement is a failure.
Here is a question: f a police officer is not a representative of the Society he or she serves then whom does he or she serve? Whom do they represent?
The answer is ‘the SWAT Team’. Notice the word ‘grup’ in Eisentazgruppen . . .
The time to ask such questions is before the answer defames and dishonors both the uniform and the Society that dresses itself in that uniform. If you do not believe me ask a cop walking a beat in Berlin in 1940 whom he serves. Ask him to define ‘bad guy’ for you then pray, hard, like Bonheoffer6 did. Amen7.

The Principles expounded by Sir Robert Peel still hold true:

4.The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.
