[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I want to make it clear that I don't agree that dragging someone out of their car and beating them senseless is a good thing that should happen a lot, even if they have done bad things in the past. However, I do believe that a person who behaves like an ass should be treated like one. The driver in Cargile's example certainly behaved like someone who was guilty of a great deal. And I do believe that police should be more protected when they have to use force to apprehend someone. It is true that there are a number of idiot police out there. However, there are even more who are (or at least were, when they started) dedicated to doing their jobs right and helping people. And for this they get shot at, abused, called "pigs" and all sorts of other things, and have to deal with the scum of the earth, people who take PRIDE in being the scum of the earth. Cut them some slack, you don't know who shot at them this morning, who put them through a high-speed chase, what drugged-up loser tried to bite them, or how many abusive parents they had to deal with. Re: the driver vs the cops: The driver committed a traffic violation. "The driver has a history of misdemeanors, most of them drug related." "The driver becomes hostile" "The driver ignores this warning" "The driver resists vehemently" Yeah, I see just how the POLICE escalated the situation. >"I now am a lower class citizen with less rights that the average American (well, this assumes that the average American doens't use drugs, which is not the case)." Yep, that's exactly right. You quacked. You got caught quacking. In the eyes of the law, you became a duck, and now you're stuck as a duck. Nobody will ever trust you again. They'll always be watching you. And all for just one little instance of stupidity. Sucks, doesn't it? Just one of the consequences that never occur to people when they decide to do things they shouldn't. Life isn't fair. Actions have consequences. If you don't like them, don't act. [/QB][/QUOTE]
