I'll try to explain my views, and listen to others. My father has been a cop in some form for over forty years. I'll relate a few stories, to try to help others see my side. I've also been an outlaw. I remember he came home once, and was shaken. Seems he went to a roadside park where one of his partners had met with two brothers (dope dealers). He said he realized something was wrong when he saw his friend was in the drivers seat, holding a cigarette in his right hand, arm resting on the console. The ashes were intact and a full cigarette of ashes was hanging between his fingers and had burned between his fingers. Seems one got in the front, one in the back, the one in the back shot his friend in the cerebellum, killing him instantly. Even at such a young age I said he should kill the guys. Well, my dad helped track them down, and arrested both of them, instead of what I and ? would have done, taken the law into my own hands, he took them to jail, and told me it was only a job. I'm not saying police are always right, I've got bad stories too. I'll start there, and maybe relate more. When you see a cop, wave, and smile, you may be just what he needs to stay sane, in an insane world
