Nothing bad will happened when interacting with police if you do as they say.

Look at all the police videos on LiveLeak etc...you will see a common thread in all arrests gone wrong: the suspect didn't do as he was told despite repeated warnings.

Easily debunked. The police are not absolute, they are human beings. Some of them are not suitable for the position of power and use it to abuse others.

Debunking it with a rare example?

Are you truly generelizing to all arrests based on a few shitshows?

You know how many police officers get killed by trying to arrest people peacefully?

I can’t tell if your comments stem from ignorance or willfully ignoring facts but in either case kindly stop and listen because what you are saying is incorrect and wrong.

Do YOU know how many police officers get killed trying to make peaceful arrests? Do YOU know how many black people get killed by the police during peaceful arrests? Because I guarantee you that you do not. I am too tired of people like you commenting like this so I’m not going to put in the work of looking things up for you. Please educate yourself on this matter before speaking about it.

Never have I ever had a a pleasant interaction with law enforcement. I think that is what was implied by above poster, nothing to do with getting shot.
I should’ve been more clear- I meant to say that interacting with the police on psychedelics is way more dangerous than just about any scary experience you may encounter while tripping out. If your having a really bad trip then the police can only make it worse, strap you down in a bed or lock you up with really bad people. They may even kill you. It’s very possible that a bad trip could be turned around with only a peanut butter and banana sandwich followed by a bike ride with a radio. Honestly, the government and most normal people included are ill-equipped and unqualified to deal with people on psychedelics.
Philando Castile was 100% complying with the officer who shot him.

EDIT: s/office/officer/

how does that boot taste
