  1. ​ @arm2307  What does respect have to do with it. Law enforcement is to enforce the law, not their own feelings and egos.

  2. "Obey" police officers no matter what? We are not subjects of the state.

  3. If police commands are unlawful and/or unreasonable, you shouldn't comply.

  4. The chances of a cop being unalived during a traffic stop is 0.00005% to 0.000075%.

  5. Lol. Just comply period? No. Free people aren't required to comply with unlawful commands from the state. Lawful, constitutional, and reasonable commands should be followed.

  6. The occupation of law enforcement isn't even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs.

  7. “Comply or die” culture needs to be challenged. Obedience to unjust or unsafe orders isn’t patriotism, it’s submission to authoritarianism

  8. ​ @Hiushisan  Many cops do. Go look up "Street Cop" training seminars.

  9. Just so everyone is aware, Tatum defends all cops. I think he even defended the officer who unalived Sonya Massey.

  10. And you think people should go to jail for being disrespectful? Being disrespectful is a first amendment right.

  11. ​@panicmosem5969 The first amendment is even more protected when challenging the government, that is the one thing that makes the US a free nation.

  12. ​ @bigantho1557  Why do I have to show my ID? The fourth amendment protects us from unreasonable searches by the state. Why would you so freely give up that right because a man with a badge and gun asks you for it? This psychologically conditions law enforcement to expect that people won't exercise their rights.

  13. ​ @marr737  That seems reasonable at first, until you realize the greater implications. Complying no matter what enables soft tyranny and doesn't teach officers that we are a free people and not subjects of the state.

  14. The officer unlawfully opened his car door.

  15. Because the cop unlawfully opened his door.

  16. The cops are the problem too.

  17. A cop opening your car door is a violation of the fourth amendment.

  18. Not really.

  19. No, it's not a rule that you are what you come from.

  20. ​ @efrainrodriguezjr7731  Well, I'm correct. People have human agency.

  21. ​ @Ashley-WatchmanStudios2.0  No, they cannot detain you for 48 hours without probable cause.

  22. ​ @Ashley-WatchmanStudios2.0  Filing complaints and suing does nothing but to embolden bad actors. Things change only when people gain the moral courage to stand firmly on their principles and to not allow the state to take away their dignity.

  23. ​ @D-Fens_1632  Sovereign citizen? The only true sovereign citizen is a cop, because they arent required to abide by the law.

  24. ​ @D-Fens_1632  Who is talking about sovereign citizens?
    1
  25. ​ @Ashley-WatchmanStudios2.0  Right. They can't detain you for nothing. If they detain you as retribution and never had probable cause, that's an illegal arrest.

  26. ​ @harrylongabaugh7402  It depends. Usually, you are supposed to, but not in every single case.
    1
  27. ​ @harrylongabaugh7402  No it doesn't. If you are in the right and you are charged, those charges are not legitimate.

  28. ​ @marcrose3403  Why is that the go to option? So, if you're doing nothing wrong and a cop walks up to you and says "sit on the ground and give me your ID," you'd comply? If so, then you're the reason why law enforcement doesn't learn. The full exercise of your Constitutional rights is not "being difficult" or "uncooperative."

  29. ​ @marcrose3403  You're missing the point. Filing lawsuits doesn't do anything to change the system. It's when people with unshakable moral courage stand firm against abuse and overreach. Cowering to illegitimate authority has very significant implications for the future we hand off to our children. Law enforcement and the justice system are no longer working for the benefit of the people; major changes must be made.

  30. ​ @marcrose3403  The future we bequeath to our children is more important than anything else, more important than you coming home, more important than personal comfort.

  31. ​ @marcrose3403 The very fact that you expect to be unalived by ignoring unlawful orders by the state should make you think and consider what I'm saying.

  32. ​ @marcrose3403  That sounds good, but It really doesn't work that way. Once the state consolidates power to this level and people tolerate it, the normal democratic processes aren't sufficient to effect substantive change. I'm not referring to the guy in this video, I'm speaking more generally. Thank you for engaging with me politely. I appreciate it. I just want to try to get people to think beyond the surface and to consider the deeper long term consequences if we as a free people always put our comfort and safety over what is morally right.

  33. Tatum, you're teaching people to put safety and comfort over what is morally right. This is dangerous in the long term. 'When citizens elevate comfort and safety above truth and virtue, they gradually become complicit in their own subjugation. It's the slow death of a republic, not by force, but by acquiescence." -MrEkzotic

  34. Tatum is so wrong.

  35. Wait, what? If you've done nothing wrong, why would you show an agent of the state your ID?
