re: #6 b.d.

Respect begets respect, confrontation begets confrontation. Go figure? It’s really not that hard to figure out.

well when you have cops quoted as describing the citizens as “animals”, methinks it’s time to ask that guy to hang it up as a member of the police force. Not saying it’s an easy job by any stretch, being subjected to man’s abject inhumanity to man, I can understand why its so easy to become jaded but when that point is reached, it’s time to find another gig because your customer service skills have deteriorated to the point where you’re part of the problem. IMHO, it takes a rare set of skills to be able to 1) know the laws, and 2) enforce them fairly and reasonably.
