Lawyers + media
Cause enough of a problem and you've got a good chance of shutting down a smaller department through suits, funding cuts or media causing problems. |

Quoted:
With all the LEO abusing their powers in the news lately, at what point can you defend yourself? Like the guy who told the cop 'Fuck you' and the cop pushed him over a car and started beating on him. The guy getting handcuffed for not showing a DL, showed a military ID instead, on his front porch and filming the incident. Im being serious, yes I know its GD, but seriously at what point can you fight back? Or can you? What if the abuse of power was being filmed? You can't. You can hope to god you video tape it and then sue. If you try to defend yourself against a cop they will kill you and walk away with a good old badge and a slap on the back. That's whats so scary about the entire situation and the rampant abuse of power. |

You're free to fight it out with the cops anytime. People do it all over the country, everyday. Winning that fight, including the court battle is the real challenge.

There is a portion of the use of force and use of deadly force sections in the Texas penal code that allows for use of force/deadly force to protect yourself from LEO. Ill see if I can find it.
Edit: I could have sworn there was more (was just looking through the penal code for a paper and saw it) Texas Penal Code Sec. 9.31. SELF-DEFENSE. (c) The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified: (1) if, before the actor offers any resistance, the peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search; and (2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the peace officer's (or other person's) use or attempted use of greater force than necessary. |

So there you are, standing victorious after fighting off a LEO. Now what? You can't stay there... death from afar (radio) is on it's way, and heaven help you if they show up to see you standing over the body of a 'brother'. What to do, what to do? Leave the scene for self-preservation? Then what? Turn yourself in... to more LEO?

At the same point you can when you're being attacked by any other person. Any amount of unlawful force can and should be resisted with an appropriate level of force. You're under no obligation to allow a cop to murder you, for example. |

You can fight off an unlawful arrest in self defense, but you better be damn sure you're in the right or you;re looking at a charge of resisting arrest.
Most likely, the best course of action would be to ride it out, and go after them with a lawyer once the dust settles. |

Contrary to what most people here believe, cops arn't usually that trigger happy. Easy way to end up in prison or at the very least lose your job and never work for a PD again by shooting a suspect (even if he just shot another officer) who is no longer a threat. |

He got charged for the pot though, so he's still kind of fucked. |

In Arizona, it is a crime to resist an arrest. Even an unlawful one: 13-2508. Resisting arrest; classification; definition A. A person commits resisting arrest by intentionally preventing or attempting to prevent a person reasonably known to him to be a peace officer, acting under color of such peace officer's official authority, from effecting an arrest by: 1. Using or threatening to use physical force against the peace officer or another. 2. Using any other means creating a substantial risk of causing physical injury to the peace officer or another. 3. Engaging in passive resistance. B. Resisting arrest pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 1 or 2 of this section is a class 6 felony. Resisting arrest pursuant to subsection A, paragraph 3 of this section is a class 1 misdemeanor. C. For the purposes of this section, "passive resistance" means a nonviolent physical act or failure to act that is intended to impede, hinder or delay the effecting of an arrest. However, there is an exception found in the Justification statutes: 13-404. Justification; self-defense A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, a person is justified in threatening or using physical force against another when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force. B. The threat or use of physical force against another is not justified: 1. In response to verbal provocation alone; or 2. To resist an arrest that the person knows or should know is being made by a peace officer or by a person acting in a peace officer's presence and at his direction, whether the arrest is lawful or unlawful, unless the physical force used by the peace officer exceeds that allowed by law; or 3. If the person provoked the other's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force, unless: (a) The person withdraws from the encounter or clearly communicates to the other his intent to do so reasonably believing he cannot safely withdraw from the encounter; and (b) The other nevertheless continues or attempts to use unlawful physical force against the person. So...when could you fight when the cops? When you can prove to a jury that they were using excessive force.* Good luck with that. *Yes I know that Arizona law holds that once the defendant has introduced the slightest evidence that he acted in self-defense, it is the State's burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self- defense. |
