We have much more to fear from the so-called “law enforcement” than we do from ordinary criminals.

The cops presume that these people are criminals while simultaneously neglecting to approach them with any caution. They treat these people like dogs… giving no respect, neither the respect of a citizen nor the respect of an enemy.

If people don’t use their rights, they lose them.

There are similar issues – challenging “free speech cages”, for example. If the right to assemble and petition the government means anything, it must include the prospect of politicians actually seeing and hearing protestors, not caging the protestors half a mile away where they can be ignored.

It isn’t for everyone, but it’s good that people do push back, otherwise these angry police officers would get no negative feedback at all; like any bully, they’d just demand more and more.
