In my opinion, nobody with sane mind would want to escalate when dealing with the cops. But you cannot expect the same from the other side.

I used to be pretty neutral on the topics of LEOs until I saw all those videos where even if someone is crawling on the ground and bawling their eyes out begging the cop not to shoot them, the cops can still shoot them.

And the judge will side with the cops.

Nowadays I don't trust cops. If I have to interact with one, I will try to be calm but I will always assume anything and everything they do or say is to my detriment.
