civil AND cops that were asshole.... Yet SOMEHOW in BOTH cases you managed not to be tased....

Have you figured out yet HOW you did that? By acting intelligently...

You do exactly the same thing I do. Good for you...

The point is that REGARDLESS of whether the cop is an asshole or not, YOUR behavior is what decides whether you get arrested/tased/etc or not...

That is real life. I have run into cops that are assholes and cops that are nice as well... and in NONE of the situations did I get beaten or tased. Because REGARDLESS of whether the cop is an asshole or not, I act intelligently.
