>Actually, cops are not allowed to assault citizens without cause, and the cause can't be because they wanted to. Now the courts may not choose to enforce these violations of civil rights, or the crimes that officers get away with, but that doesn't change the fact that they are breaking the law.

The guy was acting suspiciously and the police officer wanted him to get out of the car. Police have the power to do this. Citizens have no right to resist or fight. > >And in case you are wondering, that is how humans respond to being suddenly and violently attacked. Your body goes into fight, flight, or freeze. Most folks will respond physically when anyone suddenly grabs you. It's called a survival instinct, and cops shouldn't get to use that basic human response to get away with murder.

Flight or flight is not a legal defence for resisting a police officer and fighting with him. This is a ridiculous idea. > >I'm very sorry that you understand so little about the real world. You have a fine evening in your little fairytale land.

You are the one living in a fantasy world. One where people don't have to do what the police say and can fight with them if they choose.

I would say the same to you, but I don't think anyone could really have a fine evening living in such a messed up place, even if it is imaginary.

A dog with its head hanging out the window is dangerous, like it is dangerous to let kids stick their heads or arms out the window.

Sideswipes from another car or from driving near fixed roadside objects can (and do) knock those body parts right clean off.

Making a close turn next to a street lamp can give a human or animal head a fatal injury.

Sharing a narrow road with a car going in the opposite direction can injure or kill a passenger (animal or human) who has part of the body out the window.

Keep all parts of the body inside the car, and safely secure all riders to their seats.
