These actions, upon information and belief, were taken pursuant to a policy and/or custom of the City of Warner Robins. Fearing for his life and the fate of his family members, Johnson pled guilty to armed robbery and murder on December 11, 1987, in exchange for the death penalty."

Protesting racism is not liberal!! You keep operating under the assumption that this was a "liberal" protest. Besides the fact that they were protesting racism, I'm not sure why would think that.

In regard to your purposefully off topic point, does anyone doubt that people who self-identify as liberal have a higher IQ than people who self-identify as conservative? And yet they still fight for the poor and uneducated. That's something to be admired

genereally people who self identify as liberal have a much better education in the humanities/soft sciences as their conservative peers.

All soft sciences use broad generalizations and, to some extent, stereotypes. Generalities can be made about cohorts of people. If that were not true the none of the social sciences would exist.

Every group of people has subsets that are less intelligent/wealthy/etc. Let's not assume that the group as a whole is a reflection of the less fortunate. That's one of the main points of this entire thread, no?

Obviously was speaking on the aggregate and not in an individual comparison, but there are a lot of studies that back this up.

no I am ducking you because you are an idiot and your question illustrates that.

So I think I may have over estimated the level of intelligence of some specifically PH and Townie on this board. To put things in context when I say comply with police to avoid a situation escalating it does not include allowing yourself to get raped or molested. I feel sad that I had to point that out. I do believe that if you are in a traffic stop and the police asks for your drivers licence or is placing you under arrest and you think he is wrong you may want to obey his orders instead of resisting arrest or fighting back. After get a lawyer and see what your options are. File a complaint.

But if you think it is better to argue with police or resist than please continue.



Also
 
So how does a woman not allow herself to get raped and molested by a cop and do so in a lawful manner? Refusing to have sex with a cop IS arguing with the cop. Refusing to have sex with a cop IS resisting. She can't kick him in the balls and run. She can't spray him with pepper spray. That's assaulting a police officer. And it's her word against his what led to the incident. Whose word would you believe?


Look at the encounter above. The cop has complete power to arrest the woman for resisting arrest if she doesn't comply. Or take the example of the cop who raped several illegal immigrant men because he knew they wouldn't come forward to file a complaint against a cop.

You still haven't answered the question.
