"Further, I would argue that it is important that people who are likely as a whole a bit more 'aware' than some, other citizens discuss such incidents on a national level. We need to be aware, in this era of increased militarization of our police force, if these incidents really are simply acts of one or two 'bad seeds' or if the problem is more systemic. I have to say that, in my experience - as someone who has never been 'in trouble with the law' (unless a speeding ticket here or there counts), there does seem to be at least something of a 'systemic' element that often seems to run along deparmental lines."
What? I was called to a wreck scene this weekend and the woman involved must have stated that she had a handgun on her 6 or 7 times almost like she was bragging. I told her that if she did not draw hers I would not draw mine. Almost like she was trying to set me up. I told her I was pro 2nd and wish more honest people had permits. 3 other officers happen to stop by and she repeated her comment about being armed. BTW most all LEO are pro 2nd.
