Mottie, I'm not sure you can define a safe way of complying with an officer, if that's the case.

There’s no safe way of complying with an officer if they don’t follow guidelines or respect the law. Same could be said about any murderer. If I remember correctly, wasn’t a white girl murdered by a police officer over here just recently? Doesn’t mean that all U.K. Police officers are murderers though, does it? In that case, all we as citizens can do is to hope that the law takes its course and offenders are dealt with effectively.

Hmm I wonder if you apply that logic when it's someone who is a foreigner, black, muslim etc.

lol comply.

They point a gun and then bark out conflicting commands, giving them ample oppotunity to shoot you.

The US police need to lose qualified immunity and be retrained.

Was it a traffic stop, and was a gun used?

IRONY ALERT!

Personally I'd say anyone that posts almost exclusively in GD, no names mentioned, is probably a troll. I'm sure there must be better suited sites to debate the crap that is posted in GD.

Cops in the US can pull you over for an air freshener violation -

Technically, you could get done for that in the UK, if the police considered it an obstruction to your forward vision.

Mottie has been shown up to be a bully, a stalker, a stupid person that makes stupid comments so he wants to restrict the people that show him to be stupid.

There is a lot of crap posted. Some of it offensive, some of it fake news, some of it plain stupid.
Where would you propose one confronts the offensive posts, or corrects the fake news, or exposes the stupid comments, that are posted on this forum?
Such as this one:

Dazzler thinks I am sticking up for the officer that used his knee to kill someone. I’m not.

What utter nonsense!
Where have I implied, suggested or said that I think you are defending the killing of George Floyd?
So why make the allegation? Was it just stupidity? Or something more sinister?

Yes, now bugger off.

If you are Black, you are very likely to be shot or throttled. Either way, you'll die. And just in the off-chance that you don't die at the scene, you'll likely die later in custody.

What absolute cobblers.

What absolute cobblers.

You've clipped the part of my comment to take it out of context.
When it is contextualised it makes perfect sense, as is evident from multiple instances of Black people being killed by Police in USA, either at the scene or later in custody, AND the police officers not being investigated or charged.

A. What is NOT likely to happen if you resist arrest in the USA?

That depends on the colour of your skin. If you are Black, you are very likely to be shot or throttled. Either way, you'll die. And just in the off-chance that you don't die at the scene, you'll likely die later in custody.

But it depends on the colour of your skin.
If I was white, I'd comply, if I was Black I'd hope to escape with my life.

And is "What absolute cobblers." even a valid comment?
No argument against, no reasoning for why my comment is incorrect, no relevant data presented, no link to evidence to the contrary, no logical argument presented, simply a derogatory comment with no intellectual justification.

Which colour of people do you think American police shot and killed the most last year. Black or white?
