Thus proving my point. Knowing your cop might be ready to kill, is it really wise to start off by quoting the Constitution?

    Tamir Rice didn't have a chance to speak before he was killed. Neither did Breonna Taylor. Fuck off with this bootlicking.

    If you read what I actually wrote, I told people not to jump into a confrontation thinking they could overawe the cops with their knowledge of their rights.

    But yes, if you feel it's the smart thing to do, shout about police brutality the next time you have a run in. Let me know how it works out for you.

    At the point that a law enforcement officer is ready to kill, they're not going to get much intelligible out of me at all, since I would panic myself right into a face full of lead, and joining the disproportionately high statistic of people with mental illness massacred by law enforcement for no good reason.

    Asserting my rights would be at the point I find myself detained and they're asking me questions, at which point, I'd hope guns might no longer be involved. But I expect a dark room, hours or even days of detention without food or water might be involved. Black sites and enhanced interrogation might be as well, since it's not easy to extract a confession from an innocent man, but the Reid technique insists they try.
