I don't blame you, but people still have the right to free speech, even agents of the goverment.

Cough Cough, you were in the military, YOU know better. Agents of the government under contract to said government have their rights limited. You did not read my first post well enough, I intimated that the encounter for Texas was good for Texas, but I would not tolerate it in NC. In fact I was stopped by a deputy a week or so back, and I made it very clear I was not interested in a conversation, of any type. He was interrupting my walk, which did annoy me, he had no justification for the stop no matter how friendly. In the incident in this case the officer used his lights, made it clear he was investigating a complaint. SOOOO it was a stop, no matter how friendly it was BS, IMO. YMMV

BTW free speech only is a right with government, NOT the public. No he had no right to free speech to accost the public.
