[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1554716, member: 1242"] I understand, but that knife cuts both ways. I firmly believe that most civilians will not have any ill will toward an officer during a stop. Some, however, will not only have ill will, they will act on it. Those are the ones that scare me. At some point everyone needs to stop and take a collective deep breath but I don't see us as a society doing that either. And I do feel ya ... I've been a criminal a time or two also. Sometimes not on purpose, but more often I knew exactly how fast I was going. I have been pulled over several times (more since I met GC than I ever was before when I was acting out) but never disarmed so I can't really say whether I would find it offensive. I will freely admit that I suppose it would depend on what all else was going on at the time. Part of the problem is just the nature of a stop. There are no hard and fast rules and as we all know, officer discretion can be a real PITA ... What one person (cop or civilian) thinks is a perfectly acceptable routine for an officer some other person (civilian or cop) will find absolutely abhorrent. I'm scared of everybody these days (and no, that is not sarcasm) so I can understand both an officer's apprehension as well as yours. The only constructive answer I have (and not it's not sarcasm) is to limit exposure to JBTs. The older I get the more I tend to fly under the radar best I can. I do also agree that the officer in Talequah was inappropriate. WTF is wrong with people these days? [/QUOTE]
