This, and i hope the asshat hurts himself. But i wouldn't run, i can just say it was a natural reaction.

Hi. 1998 called and wants its lame insinuations back.

Saying you would fire a gun in self defense is not being an "Internet Tough Guy". Saying you would rip his face with your bare hands and kick his ass, is. Learn the difference.

I think saying you'd shoot a cop in the face if no one was watching qualifies.

Negative. An ITG would probably not stipulate "if no one was watching", "if the cop's weapon wasn't drawn" (that's a big one), and "if I actually had a gun on me, which I never do" (admitting not even having a gun: also a big one). So please, spare me the ITG crap :confused: .

Never mind that it's actually a freaking poll option. I see several others have said they'd put one in his face, and with far less hesitation than myself... :roll:

You P&N nubs are so much fun to rile up :D

Ok, so here are my options.
(a), quickly duck left, dodge the baton and take him out with a spinning back kick,

or

(b), take the baton in the face, roll on the ground and die.

I'd duck or move.


I'm a pretty big guy though so I don't think many would try and tackle me.

I'm 6'3" and 240 pounds.

You P&N trolls really need a life :D

Depends on what state you are in. In Texas I can use deadly force against a police officer if he is unlawfullying using force against me.

Which is how it ought to be everywhere :thumbsup: . I'm not at all familiar with the applicable laws, but I always figured the best option was just to take it, since reciprocating force is only going to a) make them even more violent, and b) make it difficult to make a case depending on what evidence/testimony is available after the fact.

I think it's "like" force.
