AOC said putting your hands behind your back while being detained is a best practice. It is not. Police ask to see your hands because they want to know if you have a weapon. Keep your hands visible. I would add, if detained, do not walk behind a police officer.
Called the Father of American Scholarship and Education, Noah Webster (1758-1843) said: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.

We didn’t; we rang her doorbell first. Three of her children served in WWII. One was killed at Pearl Harbor, the man I never knew, the other two, my father and his sister, a nurse anesthetist in Patton’s Third Army.
Dan Bongino and Charles Marino, former secret service agents, said the protectors of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (67) failed on their protective detail. They ran to the shooter, not the former minister. The shooter used a handmade gun. I watched the sad video. Abe fell to the right and died within minutes from a shot to the heart.
