    Actually there are rules and laws that are different for LE. Have you read up on Title 42? 42-4-108 gives LE and other emergency vehicles special permissions. Use of certain types of force are allowed to LE to affect an arrest. It's not Orwellian or sinister- it's due to the nature of the job. It's not about equal application of the law- as LE does have to follow all laws, there are just exceptions due to the permissions we give to those who enforce the law. Don't look at it as the bad thing you think- we grant those who swore to protect, serve, and enforce our laws special permissions to effectively do their job... Or we could just follow the French and start lopping heads off, if you prefer...

    It could be that he has been moved out of state for his protection if he has been handed over to the private prison people.

    It's not "doing what he must" that I am criticizing - it's the very likely potential that he didn't "must" that.

    And if you are a cop that's pissed off at how people perceive you, then YOU should take that anger out on the assholes who are ensuring that the only interaction you have with decent folk bears a striking resemblance to highway robbery.

    Maybe save some of the anger for your those few of your coworkers who are pimps,drug dealers, child rapists, and murderers. These are the people who are ensuring that you will never have anything but a negative balance in your moral high ground account.

    I don't pretend to have anyone figured out. However; by the wording of your posts, you are perfectly content with a police state, which myself, and obviously others on this thread, have a very hard problem with. How else is one to take your comments?

Some of us have nothing to hide so it doesn't bother us.
    I am glad you are content with a barrel at your noggin, and you have nothing to hide. There is a reason some of the people on this board distrust LE in both situations, and I am one of them. It goes back to the old adage "trust but verify". Does that make me a NWA member? No. But it doesn't make me drink the "all LE is good" flavor-aid either...

    There is a disconnect between what he is seeing and what others are seeing. Coloccw is perfectly comfortable with someone in the position of a police officer to be holding a rifle in a low ready position while facing coloccw, but the rifle not pointing at him.
    What he says about security and freedom is true. The issue arises in that even if the gentleman in the vehicle prefers more freedom than security, he (or any of us) is not in the position to opt out at that moment.
    Thank you Irving, and if that is coloccw's attitude, he should convey it.

    Lastly, I do not profess to be a "cop basher" by any means (ref: post #77). However, the perception of the public, and some on this board, is that the lines of some LE and the military are beginning to blur...

    3 reasons if I've done nothing wrong I have a problem with having LEO point a weapon at or almost at me








    yes in 2 of the 3 they were arresting suspects but ND's happen. and I'd prefer the weapon was not pointed at ME ( or almost at me) when they happen. I avoid this by not doing anything to get an officer to point his weapon at me. but if I'm just driving to work and get caught up in something ( the original premise of the thread) WHY should I just be ok with it when things like in these three videos happens?
