What with rules and regs and civil rights and all, it might seem like our men and women in blue have to operate with both hands tied behind their backs—no wait, that’s people who look Mexican. Anyway, good news! They’ve actually got a super slick move in their tool kit, and it works on all levels of law enforcement.

I first saw this move in action while on a jury. There had been a shooting, and the defendant rushed to the aid of the man who’d been shot, who was his friend. When the police came, they naturally assumed the defendant, the one trying to help the wounded man, was the shooter, in that he resembled the perp in one significant respect shared by 13% of Americans. They tried to yank him off the dying man, but he was distraught, and kept trying to help his buddy, so he didn’t cooperate with having his hands zip-tied behind his back.

At the trial, the police admitted they had the wrong man, but the guy did resist arrest, for which alleged crime he had already spent nearly a year in jail. We the jury found in favor of the defendant. One juror felt very uncomfortable finding against the police, who, he pointed out, have a really hard job and are bound to make mistakes. We spent an extra two hours persuading him to join in a unanimous verdict, and never you mind how. Jury deliberations are private.

So. Here’s the slick move. You can always be arrested for resisting arrest.

Here’s how slick it is. You can be a person on the way to your job and a group of goons can jump you and you don’t even necessarily know who they are, and if you put up a fight of any kind, or run away, bam. You are removed from society for resisting arrest.

That’s just part of a whole project the president’s working on wherein he will provoke citizen uproar by siccing our own military against us, and people who have done nothing but protest against this can be dragged away and isolated in jail for various alleged crimes including being mouthy, being woke, and of course (slick!) resisting arrest. Since we the people have already been assured of the criminality and worthlessness of various groups of people, via presidential blather if not actual evidence, half of America is expected to welcome the development.

He’s already beta-tested this in Los Angeles and Portland and that made such good video for the propaganda outlets that now he’s upping the ante and calling out the military against an entire city. No real surprise that city’s population is over 43% let’s-call-them “woke,” ha-ha! Then he’ll have the Department of Justice sue the protestors for all those hobnails that got stuck in their squishy parts. Once that display of state-sponsored terror has its intended effect, he’ll expand the franchise to the rest of the blue states.

But it’s even better than that. Entire countries can be arrested for resisting arrest. That’s what the president himself just said. “I get along with Zelensky, but I disagree with what he’s done. Very, very severely disagree,” he said. “This is a war that should have never happened…I was a little bothered by the fact that Zelensky was saying, ‘Well, I have to get constitutional approval.’ I mean, he’s got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he needs approval to do a land swap…”

Slick! Russia invaded the sovereign state of Ukraine to seize territory, and Ukraine bravely and effectively resisted. For which they must be punished. Good heavens, Ukraine. It’s just real estate. Grow up. People make deals all the time.
