that has allowed them to actually believe it. What utter nonsense.

They get respect when they give respect.

How is that people in other civilized countries don't have to handle their police with kid gloves?

Unless your advice is based on the premise that they are threat to society and therefore need to be approached with extreme caution, and I somehow misunderstood!

There is NO excuse for any police officer to beat the crap out of another human being. When they get THAT message then maybe fewer citizens will die or end up hospitalized after a brief encounter with them.

Protect and serve, brother. Protect and serve. reeds2012 Oct 2012 #1
