How To Deal With LEOs And Not Catch A Bullet

Darn it! The newest shooting to enrage people has occurred and again, you’re faced with that werid question, why? Why would guys with families at home, men and women with lives, be using deadly force on American citizens? It’s a puzzler, isn’t it?

America is filled with people who are constantly upset. And face the facts. If Donald Trump ordered it done, half the country is going to lose their minds over whatever happens. It could be the most peaceful law enforcement activity ever witnessed, and bystanders would still lose their sanity over the authorities doing their jobs.

Donald Trump could walk through the streets with a medical team giving away the cure for cancer, and there’d be someone complaining about how much money the big pharmaceutical and health insurance industries will lose if there’s a cure. It’s far more profitable to treat than to eradicate!

That’s our population these days. A large number of them have lost touch with reality, and that starts with the subjects crime and illegal immigration. As if what’s going on in Mexico isn’t hint enough that the open borders ideas and lack of enforcement by the previous admistration was wrong, the effect carting between 10,000,000 and 15,000,000 additional people into the country had negative effects.

One of those negative effects was people confronting the authorities in hostile, obstructive, and interfering ways.

NEVER SCREW WITH MEN WITH GUNS

So, you don’t want more Americans to get shot by the authorities? Well, none of us do! But to conquer that problem would require some advanced planning and preparation. There are five easy ways to avoid getting shot by law enforcement authorities in the United States:

Stop breaking the law. It’s really that simple. If you’re breaking the law, stop. Don’t run, don’t flee, and don’t make things worse.

When you’re deep in a hole, stop digging. As if things aren’t bad enough. You’ve already been caught and you decide to fight with police. When have you been in a fight. Many of the men and women in uniform are in two or three a month. How sharp are your fighting skills? Just don’t!

Don’t carry illegal weapons into a hostile and tense situation. While there are obvious questions about the Alex Pretti shooting, keep in mind the known facts. He interferred with law enforcement while in possession of a deadly weapon. The multitude of agents on the scene could have subdued the nurse, but a gun was always in play and that added to the chances of getting shot.

When you’re being told to get out of the vehicle, don’t ignore the authorities and put our foot on the gas. The officers will rightfully interpret that as a threat of serious bodily harm or death. And since they’re trained to end the threat when there’s a chance of serious bodily harm, chances are, you don’t walk away but are carried away with bullets inside you.

Use the tools you were hopefully raised with. One in particular is common sense. We all know it’s in short supply, and seldom is common sense common, but a little common sense goes a long way if you’re going to have an encounter with law enforcement. Such as; be polite, follow instructions, remember they’re doing a job, and accept personal responsibility for your actions.

To sum it up, millions upon millions of people go through their entire lives without getting shot by police. It’s not that hard. Even when running afoul of the law, a little common sense can go a long way toward not getting shot by the authorities. Remember, bullets hurt like hell, if you’re lucky. Typically, they are likely to kill you. And dead because you were stupid shouldn’t be the legacy you want to leave behind.
