i agree with you. to a point. except i dont think he is trying to make his stuff smell good. i thin he is trying to make a precedent to get a big cash settlement if the law is passed.

i respect what officers do, even if on occasion i dont agree with it. buuuuut...

when they sign up for the job accept certain risks. and being officers they knwo full well the risks involved with being on the side of the road (or in the middle). thus why they ask people to get off the road. they also know, no matter how careful or how by the book there is room for failure. it' s part of the job.

to push for a law that would cause EXTREME bottlenecks during peak hours is ridiculous.

again there is respect there for riskin their lives. nut that part of the job description.

personally i think they are already OVER protected (from people with common sense) at this point in time it is almost illegal to look at a cop the wrong the wrong way.

it isnt entirely cops faults so much as the governments new no tolerance laws. but if you jsut keep letting them pass more and more laws to protect them, especially common sense laws. ou open the flood gates. cause, guns are a threat to them... so they would logicaly have to go completely. which of course then enables the government to have COMPLETEL military control over the people.. but blah blah blah.. be a good american.
