I've said all I care to about this. Cops are in a tough situation these days, I'll grant you. It's a shame they now feel the need to resort to the threat of lethal force, rightly or wrongly, in this allegedly free society, so quickly.
Until recently it wasn't this way.
@skeeter I couldn't agree more. The typical citizen,and I include ME in that mix,has no interest in harming cops or causing them any trouble whatsoever.
What we DO want though,it to be treated with the same respect they demand,and get,from us.
They can always get "ugly" if the situation demands,but it is awful damn hard to back up and return to "civil" if you made a mistake in judgement. It's just the nature of things.
