What I criticize is the idea that a professor of students would think that complying with an officer's instructions is tantamount to being rounded up by the Government for mass extermination.
What I defend is the idea, IN GENERAL, & not specific to any case, that when an officer gives you instructions,
YOU COMPLY.
If you think you're being treated inappropriate,
YOU STILL COMPLY. You can then report the officer after the fact.
If you think you're being falsely arrested,
YOU STILL COMPLY. You can then sue the pants off the dept and city for wrongful arrest, after the fact. Yes, you might be inconvenienced, even humiliated, but you'll stay alive to reap the rewards of a winning a lawsuit for wrongful arrest
WHAT YOU DON'T DO IS RESIST ARREST, THERBY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL OF A TRAGIC OUTCOME, INCLUDING THE REMOTE POSSIBILILTY OF DEATH
NOR IS ANY SUCH TRAGIC ACCIDENT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE IN COMPARSION TO THE IDEA OF BEING ROUNDED UP BY THE MILITARY FOR MASS MURDER. And for a professor to harbor such a mindset, is what truly makes no sense, but does help validate the why to the current state of our education system
