Starlight, sometimes you can sound like an intelligent guy, other times you sound like a major goofus. Police have MILLIONS of interactions per year with the citizenry with no ill effect whatsoever.
In fact, in the communities where the police have "eased up", violence has grown, and people are getting killed.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

If all you knew about planes was from reading the news, you would be thinking that flying was a death sentence.
I have never had a bad experience with the police and neither have most Americans, other than criminals of course. They have always been respectful and helpful. I did once get a traffic ticket that I thought was unfair, but even then the officer was respectful to me. And I have shown them respect and compliance with their instructions.
and I have had a LOT of contact with police because of my job (legal field) and family (brother is a cop)

I think I had been stopped by the police a total of four times. Let me see: once for a broken taillight; once for expired tags, and once I don't recall the reason for. The fourth incident was the only time I ever saw the cops uptight - no light over the license plate. I had to explain I had trouble accessing the light from the trunk and demonstrated my issues to him. They let me off with a warning to get the problem fixed. Which I did, and avoided driving at night until I did.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

My favorite traffic stop was one day when I had ended my shift, and had actually called "out of service" and was heading home. I stopped by a convenience store to buy a half gallon of ice cream to take home. When I got back to my car, dispatch called me on the radio and asked if I could work another 4 hours, because they had two persons call in sick for the upcoming shift.
I wasn't close enough to go home, so I pulled back onto the highway, and watched for a driver driving nicely. I pulled them over, identified myself, and asked where they were going. The woman looked a bit surprised, and said, "I was just on my way home, officer, what did I do?" I said, you're fine, ma'am - you didn't do anything wrong -- please wait one minute.....
I walked back to my patrol car, got the ice cream, and told her I had to work another shift and didn't want the ice cream to melt. Then I went back to work, leaving her in apparent shock.
It was fun!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The drone bombing comparison is silly. The robot wasn't used to blow up a wedding party in Yemen. It was used on an active shooter who had already shot twelve people and was threatening to take out more and refused any negotiation. It would have been irresponsible not to act in such a manner and almost certainly would have resulted in more deaths. And more importantly, they knew exactly where the robot was going and there was no possibility of a false positive for who the target would be (as opposed to the situation with drone strikes)."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

THREE TIMES last month, we had blacks jump out of their vehicles during a traffic stop and approach the officer yelling "Come on, shoot me!" One of them was particularly aggressive and added the "MF" repeatedly. My son-in-law was only going to give him a warning for not completely stopping at a stop sign.
Heck, even after all the drama, the guy only got a verbal warning.Last edited by Cow Poke; 07-10-2016, 06:54 AM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
