While I do agree that he did eventually get what he deserved — his warrants, and showcase of recklessness explains a good deal about his general disregard, and lack of respect for societal values — his display of insubordination is also a rather interesting social commentary on the infirmity of America's law enforcement. An officer's duties require them to violate the rights of others, without question, on a repeated basis. Police routinely fine or jail, at taxpayer expense, people whose crimes lack an actual victim. Whether it be for driving without a license, disorderly conduct or illegal drugs, police are the ones enforcing such laws. More surprisingly is it seems they do so only because they are told to, and believe such violations are acceptable to keep others safe. Just my two cents; I don't necessarily agree or disagree with my own statement but, these are interesting questions to be asked, even if the way in which they were communicated was itself puerile.

Yes, his actions bring a fundamental mindset of a large group of people in this country to light. I feel that in some regards that frustration with the authority of our nation is immensely justified. I also feel that this childish behavior is the inappropriate way to combat the injustice in the system. That being said, this may be the only way that some disgruntled people can "fight back", so to say. I do not agree with all of what you say about the "victimless crimes" because some of the crimes have a potential victim, such as drug use, and other times the victim is the state, driving without obtaining a license. The problem is the very nature of the beast as you said, they fully believe that their violations of other's rights is justified. That's the only way a "blind justice" system can work. Complete and utter faith that what you are doing is morally justified. Which is the main problem with a blind justice system, it's blind. Things like mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession is an obscenely unnecessary violation. The whole system is flawed but I do not think it is fair to take it out on the messenger, these people's discontent with the system needs to be aimed at the core, i.e. using lawyers to target the unjust legislature and laws that cause all these problems for the civilian individual. TL;DR Don't harass the individual cops, use the democratic republic system to make your voice heard in court, anything else is too childish to be taken seriously. If at any point you detected pseudo intellectualism in my post, please tell me.

Never, there is no fault in conceptual discussions like these. These are in fact the very conversations, I believe, are what should be taking place, and is even our responsibility in our role as citizens of the very justice system you just described. Americans, whether they know it or not, have (as you have already noted) certain democratic powers which were given to us for the very purpose of protecting ourselves from the violations those individual cops may impose. Being knowledgeable about the judicial powers we have, even half-decently, and fighting back when prudent and [i]not[/i] impudently, has the potential to straighten out the system naturally. We are the checks-and balance, and there is no reason for us to be walked-on-over by the amorality we have seemingly allowed ourselves be presently confronted with. I feel as though the officialdom isn't working not because it is itself inherently flawed but, because the most vital element about such a framework — ourselves — isn't doing its job within that system. People use the abuse others face when confronted with law enforcement as a rationale to do stuff like this, when in fact they should be studying-up on the rights they have to counterman those very same abuses. Unfortunately we seem to have become complacent in our own apathy (and juvenility as well it would seem) to elicit the necessary changes, that you have remarked upon, now found within system.
