This post is in response to a post by someone on this forum which a while back. It basically personally attacks most of us on here and seemingly paints a good picture of how some LEO's may feel. Here isa snippet:
"What I'm discovering about this forum generally is that it's peopled with confrontive types who are searching, baiting, clamoring for an argument. Moreover, what I'm seeing is that this vast enclave of users particulary is enamored of arguing with or confronting law enforcement.
Seemingly the psychological basis for such behavior is feelings of inferiority and a psychic need to compensate for those feelings. What better mechanism for such compensation than to openly carry a loaded firearm while maintaining that YOU know more about police procedure than the police.
You're welcome to your ichthyphallic reveries. Load up that compensated sidearm of yours and get out on the street.
You're on your own."
I would like to draw attention to two classic Research Experiments which may help LEO's understand why people perceive them as we do. Also, why they can't see otherwise. LEO's think we have problems with authority and we are trying to compensate for feeling inferior to them...NEWS FLASH: I don't believe anyone herefeels inferior to LEO's

Do to the nature of some LEO's thinking "They ARE the LAW" they can issue it as they see fit making things exponentially worse. They think since they are the authority they can act as they please without challenge from us lowly citizens.
