Must be a scary world you live in. Mine? I see it and people for what they are. Most are soft, some are loud and a small percentage actually take action. Many cops are no different than bullies. They resort to threats, whether it's words or pulling a weapon on those unaffected by words, and rarely ever follow through on threats. Most cops who draw on a violent suspect never fire. They freeze up and the guy simply leaves. Other cops arrive later and attack in a large group. Bullies. That's it.
My first experience with a police officer ever was having a gun shoved in my mouth for picking up coal along the railroad tracks. Big man pulling a gun on a 7 year old. I've had a cop drive by and point a gun at me and my girlfriend over fighting a traffic ticket. I've had a cop sit outside my apartment every day for 3 months and block my vehicle for testifying that I saw him yank a teenage girl around by her hair for 4 minutes after he handcuffed her. I've had a bailiff attempt to assault me in the Eau Claire County courthouse in a hallway with no cameras and dropped him even though I was handcuffed. No charges there. I've had guns pointed at me for OC. I've had cops force their way into my home to threaten my girlfriend over charges they brought being thrown out. I've had an assistant chief threaten to kill my newborn baby over my turning him and another officer in for pointing guns at me and my girlfriend. I've had a deputy threaten to kill me and then try to run me over for open carry during deer season. I've had a police chief threaten to shoot me on sight if I held an OC walk and that was all talk. I've had cops neither detain nor arrest me and lock me in the jail overnight and then follow me home in their cars during a 100 degree day after stealing my shoes and socks. I've had a deputy threaten to shoot me if I reached for my wallet while OCing.
Do you think I'm afraid of some cop's bruised ego? I don't have consensual conversations with cops, even when they're off duty.
Except for Primus.
