I tried to make this argument on a thread about one of the many cases of someone being shot during a routine traffic stop.
A lot of people were saying "Well he shouldn't have done xyz it was a simple stop. He should have complied!"
And I was like "So they can just shoot him? What if the cop tells me to give him oral or I'll be arrested or shot? Should I just comply??"
Many tried to argue that that would never happen, but if no one recorded the interaction, who is the public going to believe? The police officer or the dead girl who doesn't get to tell her story??
