I think many of us have become so docile and subservient to police we forget that we do have a right to fight back if attacked (even against police officers) in unlawful arrests. “Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officers life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. Besides self-defense is a natural right, stemmed from the root of all rights, self-ownership. When someone tries to hinder your ability to own yourself through brutal oppression and violence, it is not only your right, but your responsibility as a free individual to resist. There is a huge difference between self-defense and proactive violence. Going off and shooting people who’ve done nothing to harm you is immoral, whether or not they are a cop, is irrelevant; unprovoked violence has no place in a just society. - Cop Block
