Self defense from a Policeman.

It depends, is there a camera around?

[dead0man]

Yeah, sadly, 9 times out of 10, the abused victim that defended himself against a cop is going to hang.  At least historically.  Now that most cops are being surrounded by camera's more and more everyday (nearly all cop cars have camera's and we're just starting to put them on the cops themselves) it is starting to balance the power out a little bit.  Camera's don't (tend to) lie, they might not give the whole truth 100% of the time, but they don't (tend to) lie.


(yes yes, cops can and do turn them off)

If you do shoot a p*g, better destroy the camera if possible (perhaps by means of fire), and also kill any other witnesses that might exist.

errrr, if it's "in defense" you might want to keep those things around.  no?

[dead0man]

Yeah, and make copies if you have the chance.  Hell just run straight to a lawyer with it right away, then the local news, then CNN, then the BBC just to be safe.
