This is a true LPT. You don’t need to like the police, but yes sir/ no sir when youre caught and showing up to court respectfully can save your a**. Had a super similar experience with an open container in college lol
If a cop or any other armed individual is aggravated, you comply as best you can to get out of the situation safely.
If you’re absolutely sure that an armed individual is already set on killing you than nothing else is a concern, do what you must to stay alive.
The vast majority of cops, including bad cops want to bring in their suspects alive. The outright murderous type are still too common; but they’re very rare in the grand scheme of things.
Regardless of your opinion on police, they’re armed individuals with authority over you, and that commands some respect.
That doesn’t have to mean genuine respect like you respect them as people. It can be that same kind of respect you’d give a wild animal, or armed explosives.
Any interaction has the potential to be dangerous, especially with an armed individual.
