Cooperation is the key to not being arrested. What I see is lots of belligerent behavior. The video begins to late in the encounter to understand context so it is impossible to know fully whether this was out of line not but in the face of what is here, I'd conclude the officers acted reasonably.
Love it. This is the traders dilemma breakthrough moment. It's why solid performance reps are so important. Many new traders try to bypass the reps and get whipped out. It takes years and thousands of reps to do. Like weight lifting. You simply don't walk into the gym and expect to bench press 300 pounds with no experience or training. Why do we think differently when it comes to money and trading? Education....
I hope so. The first thing you have to ask when reading Marx's writings is Who is we? and who is the army of workers? When he touts, We will have an army of workers. It certainly isn't all of the loud leftist screaming for it whom will be on the we side more like they will be the army of workers. Case in point. Who is out in the streets marching in harms way?
As a trader we all learn about ourselves.
Trading evolution I’m embracing:
I used to tell myself “SOH today” — Sit On Hands.
It sounded disciplined, but deep down it felt like a trick for fidgety kids who couldn’t control their impulses.
Now I’m in Sit And Watch Mode (SAWM).
No base intent to trade.
No forcing anything.
I simply let the market come to me.
I’m a sniper lion in the tall grass — calm, alert, patient.
I watch the rhythm, observe the flow.
When the right prey walks into my zone, I pounce with conviction.
Patience isn’t about suppressing urges anymore.
It’s about positioning yourself as the Apex predator, not the desperate hunter.
Who else has moved from SOH to SAWM?

These days, I am short term options trading primarily. For my long term investment positions, I hold shares. Primarily because of the time decay. I have a also used LEAP spreads for income generation as a poor mans covered calls strategy. That has been a great way of positioning. Recently, I have been considering jumping back in the live room and participating a couple days per week.
@Geniustechw ABSOLUTELY.... It's the very best way to keep them safe. Children are curious and will find a way to mess with your guns. The best way to keep them safe is to satiate that curiosity in a controlled manor. You don't, they will or one of their friends will.
@DeltaNinety One of the hardest things I had to master was not doing anything. The second hardest thing was knowing when to just turn the charts off. Like you. I didn't trade last week. I simply did not see what I know to work happen.
