It involves - in part - obeying law enforcement personnel instructions and not taking any action endangering them. Law enforcement, however, should also be held accountable and reports from citizens about their mis-conduct should be taken seriously and investigated.

I did not need a civics class... Just parents who taught me how to properly act.

"Yes Sir" really puts potential tension and confrontation to rest quickly.



It amazes me how much less (no) trouble there is when there is respect shown. In kind, it is amazing how much things can escalate in a flash when you decide to defy LEOs.

That does not excuse rouge or compromised LEOs, but it sure does keep people from getting shot in the face - like 99.9999% of the time.

Unfortunately, not everyone is responsible like our parents. Many Dem parents apparently are silent or advocate resistance. Teaching proper protocol in school helps create a compact of behavior.
