re: One officer says, shut up and take it.

Your dad's advice was different than my dad's. My dad told me if anyone threatens or runs their mouth to me then whip their arse.

He said if they are bigger than me or there's more than one then go get a baseball bat and hide it in the bushes at school and wait for recess.

I got suspended a lot in grade school

When I was a kid, an older kid held me up and threatened to throw me in the ditch. I dared him to, so down in the ditch I went. When I told my dad he said, "Son, if you run your mouth to a bigger guy, you have to accept the consequences." Having learned that lesson, I've never picked a fight with a cop.

Your dad gave you terrible advice.

My dad taught to stand up to those people.

His words: "If you let them bully you once, without a fight, they're going to do it the rest of your life."
