I will more than likely NEVER be in a position for an officer to feel he/she has to beat me or shoot me. Contrary to what people think, officers don't go around beating the innocent. Use your brain, would you be outside during a riot? Would you be around when people are looting, even just watching? No. I would know better and get the f... out of there. If oyu are at a party and people are smoking weed right out in the open, you are putting yourself in a position to be assumed part of the illegal activity. You then should realize that you may be assumed guilty by the authorities.
People like respect. If you argue with them, they are going to get annoyed. If you tell the truth and are cooperative, they'll be fine. I have been pulled over by the police for vehicle incidents 3 times in the last few years. ONe was rolling through a stop sign. When the officer asked me why I was being pulled over, I said yes. I told him I realized I never stopped the minute I went through the sign. He checked, saw I had no other infractions and let me go. Of course, if I had some points on my license, I bet he would have given me a ticket. The other 2 times I got plled ove, I treated the officer the same way and I was let off with a warning.
