“We’re trained not to run away from a threat, to deal with a threat and that is what I was doing… ”. — Officer Darren Wilson

What is the definition of a threat to a well weaponed police officer? Police officers have demonstrated violence towards men, woman, children, elders, and animals; not discriminating by color or mental illness. So, logically, every member of society is a potential threat to police officers; some more than others, but nevertheless, EVERYONE is a target.



  1. No Encounter is the Best Encounter
    - Focus on being the best honest and productive citizen you can be
  2. Knowledge is Power
    - Know the rights you have when being stopped by police
    - Know the penalties of your offenses
  3. Compliance is Not Weakness
    - Honesty shortens your encounter with police
  4. How to Deal with the Jerk Cop
    - Record key information
    - Report key information to the appropriate person in power
    - Battle in the courtroom
