Pogo, I am glad you were not a trouble maker. Yes, there are bad authority figures, but defiance at the moment is stupid. Comply and take up with the proper authorities.
But any child or adult who is asked to comply with rules says "no" and does not comply is ipso facto a trouble maker and is fair game for the force of the law. Almost all of the time the defier is going to loser, and as we have seen, sometimes loses all the way and is no more.
Again, there was no "defiance" of anything on my part. I was walking home, minding my own business. THEY accosted ME. I was damn lucky not to have become a statistic. And I have no doubt some aren't so lucky. Don't try to tell me it doesn't happen. And when it does there's not a damn thing wrong with calling it out.
The fact that this particular goon got fired and sued is a positive. Stop trying to sugar-coat it.
