[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 927972, member: 65699"] TJR, aren't you all about individual freedoms and such, liable to throw out a quote like "He who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither" ? This new quote of yours sounds dangerously close to counteracting such sentiment :( Cops don't rank above civilians. I'm pretty sure a public servant can't out-rank the public... Again, props to the cop for being more decisive, aggressive, and violent than most any MMA fight televised...but I couldn't fault anyone punched by a cop for retaliating. Sadly, the law seems to have special protection for that, "Assaulting a police officer". IMO, "assaulting a police officer" should be no different than assaulting any other person in terms of legality. Sigh. The cars say "to serve and protect", but it doesn't give subjects. Semantics.
