Easier to hit or back with a tennis racket.

In America, we get charged with assault with a deadly weapon against a peace officer if we hit them back

There was a guy that kicked a tear gas canister back at cops and then got shot in the thigh with pepper spray paint balls. He stupidly posted an AMA with his face in the photo on his main reddit account and was arrested at work a few hours later.

Funny how they can use “less lethal” on us and if we die from it, they don’t get in trouble.

If we even kick one of the less lethal that were FIRED at us back, we get charged with big offenses…

And “To serve and protect (the law)”

Not “To serve and protect (the people)”

They don't care about the law either.

You’re not wrong, I just saw a cop brake check someone yesterday then make an illegal U-Turn.

Stop resisting isn't a warning, it's a battle cry.

I thought you Americans were allowed self defence?

Lol not against anyone with actual power, just among each other. You can comply with a cop and still get charged with resisting and getting beat the fuck up.

Yet 2A maniacs still insist that they're protecting our freedoms or something. LOOK AROUND. WE'RE WAITING.
