RE: What "Government" Does Best
Morality and practicality are not the same thing. There are a LOT of occasions--millions, in fact--when Americans would have the absolute moral right to resist aggression by "law enforcers," up to and including deadly force, but which I would highly suggest they not attempt, because it would just get them killed. So if you're just giving practical advice, I agree. But if you're saying it is morally wrong to not cooperate with badge-wearing aggressors who wish to detain, interrogate, search, etc., without probable cause to suspect any crime, then you are sorely mistaken.
This is why I study kung fu and brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Sure, they have some training... but it is rare to find an enforcer that has anything close to black belt level skills in physical self defense.
Definitely agree about not attempting to defend yourself... simply because it will end up being the entire police force of City X against you. That being said, it is always morally right to resist... but prepare for bad results. The deck is stacked against anyone that defends themselves from false imprisonment because 99% of the population (maybe 96% these days...) believes the lies they are taught.
