for people who claim that they are being systematically hunted down and murdered by police.. they seem to have absolutely no problem with escalating things far beyond where they needed to go.
Yes, much of the problem stems from the fact that in these cases the person in question disrespects LE, refuses orders, and then fights back when they are being arrested. Maybe an actual LE officer might comment in this thread because I think it would be very informative.
So many of these cases now are happening mostly with young people. I don't ever remember hearing about cases like this back in the 70s and 80s. Maybe we just hear about it more now with all of the electronic media we have.
Hell, IMO none of the students in that room should have had a cell phone to begin with. It used to be in most schools a policy that phones stay in the locker, but now most school allow it. Some teachers have classroom rules of no cell phones in class but it makes it so hard to enforce when much of the building has given up and doesn't do a damn thing about it. Kids these days are using the cell phones to text in class while teaching is going on and they are missing out on an education.
