        As long as you’re not raising a weapon when you put your hands up, yes.

        • amongoose January 29th, 2016 at 15:02

          Or rush the policeman.

            After personally making threats stating that you would kill anyone who isn’t aligned with your views of “patriotism”?
            Sure.
