We used to have a saying back in the day, "COMPLY & DIE". Even worse today, "THEY SEE YOU & KILL YOU"!On a universal level, yes….socially, no. If you ain’t ready to ride then comply.
Same thing I say. They have the backing of the state most of the time.It's pointless knowing they have the upper hand. We just take the ticket then see them in court.
You gave a professional answer. I think some of the police officers were so sick of being powerless that they became police officers.I agree with Tariq when the police stop me. I'm a POW. They get name, rank and serial number. I have a very neutral, but non emotional look. I don't take the escalation bait.
If I'm asked a question I know 100 percent I don't have to answer, I don't.
"So, where do you work?" "Officer, I'd rather not discuss my employment status as its not germane to this stop" Sometimes they try to escalate and lie and say 'I asked you a question and you're not following instructions, that could be arrested for obstruction"
"We'll have to let my lawyer and the police union lawyer figure that out later officer" I say it with a serious but neutral look.
Shyt like that throws them off. I've been asked if I worked in the legal field because they know they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit. I don't argue, "You were speeding back there, did you know that?" I don't answer. They escalate. "I'm not going to incriminate myself officer, you can either write me a ticket or don't, I'll have my say in traffic court if you say so". I don't argue. He'll keep saying "It's 45 mph zone' whatever, "You have my driver's license, insurance, registration officer" I stay quiet and give them a look. They even threaten how I look. I don't say shyt. They want that. If they had me, they'd have been written the ticket.
I've gotten tickets but I was guilty and it was over for how long it took them to get my DL, registration and write the ticket. Other than that they ware fishing and I'm guilty for driving while black.
If I was talked to disrespectfully I ALWAYS send an email or letter to the Chief of police, the Internal Affairs and the captain of that precinct. ALWAYS. It may not do any good but it goes in their file and when they are up for promotion it will be there. Nothing may come of it, but I don't let disrespect behind a badge go unpunished. Its a b*tch move to talk sh*t because you got a badge when otherwise you wouldn't. And my taxes pay your salary too? F*ck that. I do the same for bad customer service and I've gotten a few people fired over the years. I write the CEO and any other corporate email I can find. I've also gotten upgrades and free flights as well. Once, running late I got to the gate, door is still open. They let this older white lady in after me. I was heated. Got me a free American Airlines flight after a threatened racial discrimination lawsuit. For black folks I just talk to them unless I pick up coon vibes. This sassy African lady tried doing that at Western Union once. Last time she did that.
Our people have tried to comply, and sometimes it does not work. I am glad there are cameras because it does give more exposure to what is going on.We used to have a saying back in the day, "COMPLY & DIE". Even worse today, "THEY SEE YOU & KILL YOU"!
No. Arguing with them is pointless and stupid. Pointless because the police officer has the power in that situation. And arguing with them will not help a person's case in any way. If the cop was willing to let a person go without a ticket, then he or she just gave that option up by arguing with them.Is it ever okay to argue with the police while in the streets?
If Yes: Why and under what circumstances?
If No: Why not?
I don't argue & I'm not gonna allow them to harm or kill me either. But if it comes to that, it is what it is, but I won't be dying alone!No. Arguing with them is pointless and stupid. Pointless because the police officer has the power in that situation. And arguing with them will not help a person's case in any way.

I don't argue, period. Being Black in the same vicinity as KKKops means you possible may not make it home, because you may die.We used to have a saying back in the day, "COMPLY & DIE". Even worse today, "THEY SEE YOU & KILL YOU"!
They also became police because most are racist & there's little or no consequences for injuring & killing Black people!You gave a professional answer. I think some of the police officers were so sick of being powerless that they became police officers.
