If a cop pulls you over, should you get on your knees and beg for your life?

[YUPPIE]

With all the cop brutality lately coupled with my immense distrust and contempt for police in general, I've been starting to wonder how to act when confronted by one. Seeing how they can now kill you on a whim (literally) if a cop ever wants to talk to you or has something to do with you, should you react by immediately getting on your knees, put your hands on your back, then proceed to beg for your life? I doubt this will move their sympathies since they could just laugh and shoot you in your skull, but is it better than nothing? I imagine, just doing something similar like putting your hands up if near one will only arouse aggression and suspicion so this is ONLY for if they have business with you.

I don't want to die just yet.

You should yell a lot and make random quick grabs at your pants, that makes them respect you
If the op isn't going to ask a serious question, I'm not going to give a serious answer.

[Gamdwelf]

I always tell the police to fuck off.

I ain't even white.

[Deathquoi]

This is a bit of an overreaction but I'm not surprised coming from you.

Fear is a symptom of Man-Child Misidentity.

Also irrational fear is more likely to trigger an aggressive response on an average basis, just be cool.

With all the muslim violence lately should we...

[PC2]

Just act like a normal person and not a dirtbag.

[Underverse]

Yeah, a few cops making split second decisions that turned out to be unwarranted means cops can murder at will.

Just like a few black guys murdering people means that black people are all criminals.

Sigh.

The advice you had there before editing was sound advice I think. With this level of paranoia, I recommend the therapist too.

If you're white I wouldn't worry about it.

That's just about what things have come to now, even though the hard-headed, authoritarian-loving types can't stand admitting it.

When they get shot 6 times for nothing or tazed until the shit runs down their leg, they might in that brief instant of life they have left start to realize it.

If you're white I wouldn't worry about it.

But if you're brown look visibly worried and suspicious?

Not worrying is the signal that makes you look normal and not suspicious.

I recommend keeping bleach behind your seat.

Then you can scream "YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE COPPER, MYAH"

I only travel by means of conga-line. If a cop trys to pulls us over, we just dance away and shake our asses at him.

Just act like a normal person and not a dirtbag.

This basically... so hard...

I had whole 3 interactions with police in my life and all were good and positive experiences, one time some dude stole my cellphone and tried to sell it back to me - it did not end well for him - police ambushed his ass at the meeting point and another time I reported a stolen item, they could not help this time, but they did act in a professional and respectful way and about 20 years back when I was a kid and some other kids tried to pick on me, passing by officer shooed them off.

Basically, be a law abiding citizen and don't be an ass and you will have no problem.

Do you remember Salandrin? These threads remind me of Salandrin.

I remember those threads when I was still a lurker ^^

[YUPPIE]

Should clarify I do see cops almost every day based on how they seem to like where I get a snack from during the day or night. So far, they haven't even interacted with me but this news lately has really raised my anxiety.

[Firatha]

Lol what a fucking joke.

You sure about that?
