If you swing at the police, you’re getting your shit pushed in. Everyone knows that. At any point in this incident, she was free to choose not to swing at the police and not to get taken down. They are under no obligation to put up with that.

Absolutely not. None of their business.
r/personalfinance really was overwhelmingly slanted toward people who already had robust incomes and assets.
I think you should check out the Active Self Protection channel on Youtube. Compliance is no guarantee of safety. Compliant people are murdered all the time. It also doesn’t help you when your assailant wants to take, well...other things from you. “Just take it and hope he doesn’t decide to kill you after” is not a…

Suicidal people and criminally homicidal people are not my problem. Some other crazy person drowning their own kids in the bathtub is not a good enough reason for me to get rid of my bathtub.
Why would you want to be with someone who forces you to get rid of things you value in order to be with them?
Are you gonna do it with your...not guns?
