Contempt of Cop

A perfect example of being shot for the horrible crime of Contempt of Cop. WUSA9.com:

State police say Cook rolled up the window, catching the officer’s arm inside, and then dragged him.

Buchele says it didn’t happen that way. He describes an encounter which looked and sounded like the officer shooting a person a point blank range, not because he feared for his life, but because the woman did not obey his order to stop rolling up the window.

“He was right next to the vehicle. He had one hand on the door handle and one hand on his weapon. And she was rolling the window up. And they were exiting out of the parkng lot.

The window was half way up he said ‘stop or I’ll shoot.’ I really didn’t think he was going to do it. But she got the window all the way up and that’s when he shot. And then she took a left out of the parking lot here and he stepped out in the street and fired five more times,” said Buchele.

Buchele says the officer was not dragged and that he shot her before she drove away. He says he didn’t have his arm caught because the officer’s left hand was on the door handle and right hand was holding a weapon. Also, he says he distinctly saw her roll up the window all the way before the officer shot out the glass and killed her.

Contempt of Cop is perhaps the worst possible crime one can commit. Though I generally despise the police, and no matter how much they deserve a response of “none of your fucking business” when they ask “where are you going/what are you doing?”, whenever it is that I encounter them, I go out of my way with the “yes sir” and “no sir” answers, keeping responses to not one word more than is required. I know my seeming reverence and respect for their supposed authority just strokes their egos and likely gives many of them a woody, but I simply don’t want to go to jail (or end up dead) because some cop felt slighted by me. It just isn’t worth it. Especially when they can fabricate virtually any story that suits their fancy and get away with it. You know, some bullshit story like “she rolled the manually cranked window up, trapped my arm, and started to drive off before I shot her.”
