Being rude is protected by the Constitution, as you learned in high school civics class. You did a perfect job of blaming the victim.
On the other hand, maybe what you were trying to say is something like, "We gotta be practically-minded because the cops are dirty racist bastards who will beat the hell out of us."
As you learned in what now?
I took AP US Government in highschool, but I don't remember what the non-AP alternative was. I think civics classes were the same idea but got removed at some point because I don't remember hearing about them while I was in school. The same way reading class got merged into language arts class I guess.
I don't know. I slept through a bunch of high school classes, but I heard that people studied that kind of stuff.
Being rude is protected, but holeing yourself in the car after committing a crime is not.
The police have to identify, notify, serve and if required detain. Preventing this is obstruction.
Still they handled this in one of the worst possible ways. Obstruction doesn't mean force is required, and specially not before extensive attempts to deescalate.
Speeding isn't a crime, it's an infraction. If speeding is a crime then everyone is a criminal. It's not like he held up a gas station.
He was waiting to receive his ticket. All they had to do was wrote the ticket. What was obstructed, other than their egos? ... This is contempt of cop, nothing more.
