The outside viewer for whom we must moderate our arguments is not the average citizen, who most likely feels negatively about the police, but the police, themselves.I’m no cop apologist, and I certainly criticize their actions when warranted (often time sooner than many others who are more willing to give up their rights), but I also perceive a certain amount of hatred toward LEO’s in general in this thread, and it is a bad image to project on these boards that will only further polarize the relationship between private citizen, and LEO.
As cops are supposed to be servants and employees who obey me, it's troublesome to hear that they are not willing to provide proper customer service by reacting appropriately to their masters' complaints.
One thing I've learned over the years is that if you think someone else is boss, that person will act like it. Just some of that common sense life lessons you have to live enough to learn.
Sadly, there are some pro-cop, pro-authority, people in the gun ranks, and their membership reflects poorly on all gun owners to the outside world.It is telling that only one person on this board came up with a suggestion on how the situation should have been handled, and that person suggested exactly what the officer did.
It's Chucky Manson's ethic: "Love thy neighbor by killing thy neighbor."That officer did exercise restraing, and looked to treat that woman as if she were the officer's own grandmother whom she loved, cherished, and respected.
