Taking on the police as an individual leads to incarceration, physical assault or worse. Staying out of jail and taking on the police/system as part of a larger and more powerful force - AND perhaps undergoing intentional arrest to make a positive statement - wins battles. But, the war is still on. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on what individuals should do when being wrongfully harassed by the police.

Mmm hostile. And, I fixed your comment for you. Anyway, I'll hope that you are, in fact, familiar with the severely disproportionate percentage of black men in jails and prisons. So, I can only assume you're just playing devil's advocate. I'm not concerned about my ability to guide my sons into responsible manhood, but thank you for sharing such delightful mockery. It will take you far on Greek Chat.
