RESISTING LOGIC

RECENT POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTINGS SEEM TO HAVE A FAMILIAR TERM ATTACHED, AND THAT TERM IS RESISTING ARREST. THE SHOW TODAY WILL BE A DISCUSSION ON THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF RESISTING ARREST AND ASKING THE QUESTION WHETHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OVER REACTS TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS THEY CLASSIFY AS RESISTING ARREST. THE BURDEN OF DE-ESCALATION DOES NOT FALL ON PRIVATE CITIZENS — IT FALLS ON POLICE OFFICERS. HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT ASSUME OFFICERS WILL BEHAVE IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS YOUR SAFETY OR THAT THEY WILL RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS EVEN AFTER YOU ASSERT THEM. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO REDUCE RISK TO YOURSELF BY STAYING CALM AND NOT EXHIBITING HOSTILITY TOWARD THE OFFICERS. THE TRUTH IS THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE: HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO PUT AN OFFICER AT EASE; YET STILL ENDED UP INJURED OR KILLED.
