Classic, I just could not refuse.And truth be known, I would rather be tased then sprayed with OC Unlawfull assembly should NOT be tolerated. OWS folks should stop playing loose and fast with the law, a mob mentallity will be dealt with force, sudden force must be expected for the safety of the few officers working to disperse the ILLEGAL gathering. Breaking the law and expecting mercy? Typical I guess.

A few things I might add since this is all about opinions anyway.
1. Most of us only interact with law enforcement in traffic cop situations. The VAST majority of instances seems a whole lot more like revenue generation than keeping peace and safety. When cops hide out and target places they can write the most tickets rather than where they are really going to make a difference in safety, people get annoyed to say the least.
2. I believe the job attracts personality types that unfortunately don't make good cops anyway. Who really wants to sit in a cruiser and write tickets all day? How is that fulfilling? The only type I can imagine attracted to that line of work are those who get off on pushing people around, big shot kind of guys. In truth, I honestly believe that is the type that more often that not fills the role.
3. When seconds count, the cops are minutes away. I know it's a cliche' but it's absolutely true. I have zero faith that when I really need a cop, one will actually be there. I fully expect that when one does show up, I'll be looked on with eyes that believe I'm guilty unless I can prove otherwise.
Just my opinion, worth what you paid for it.

I am so thankful that not everyone agrees and views things the same, eventhough some of us are right.
Deputies here start around $30,000 per year. They get shot and killed sometimes. Really crappy job for what they are paid.
WHAT DO I MAKE??
- I make it possible to keep back the chaos every day in Prison.
- I make 5 minutes seem like a lifetime when I am fighting an inmate while waiting for back up.
- I make going to work for a Correction Officer's safety a duty that I will die for.
- I make myself work holidays, nights, during hurricanes, riots, terrorist attacks and other disasters a standard day..... while you complain about your 9-5 in your air conditioned office.
- I make the fact that I may not get to eat, or get a break or cannot use the restroom when I need to, part of my job.
- I make running towards the an altercation or a possible riot, so that those I am sworn to protect are safe, an automatic reaction.
- I make getting thrown on, stabbed, spit on, punched and kicked at work, an expected part of my day.
- I make working for people, who most often dislike me, swear at me, and complain about everything I do or the way I do it.
- I make working 8 hour shifts or even 16 hours, my day at the office, so you and your family can sleep safely, a way of life.
- Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save a life.
- I make a difference, WHAT DO YOU MAKE?

Thanks for all you do!!!!You are most welcome.
The Final Inspection
The policeman stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?
The policeman squared his shoulders and said.
"No, I guess I ain't
because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a Saint."
I've had to work most Sundays
and at times my talk is rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep...
though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got to steep.
And I never passed a cry for help
though at times I shook with fear,
and sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.
They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much, but if you don't...I'll understand"
There was a silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman.
You've borne you burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets.
You've done your time in Hell"

In New Zealand there are two types of police officer, real ones and revenue ones.
In the area of the city I live there are 6 cars.
4 of these are deployed every shift to gather revenue leaving just two for crime. I belive the other 4 can be called away from hiding behind bridges and lurking at the bottom of long hills should the need arise, but it gives you a good idea of where our forces priorities lie.
Traffic police have little to no respect from the travelling public in NZ.
Here the police have a quota system to fulfil each week. A friend of mines brother in law was the local officer for his district when they came in. He found his acceptance from the locals almost vanish and his ability to solve basic local crime disappere because the locals lost faith in him and wouldn't talk to him. He stopped ticketing the locals and in his words "shamingly went after the holiday makers"
I have the utmost respect for the officers out there keeping our streets safe from crime but I wouldnt giive the time of day to the revenue police.
I absoulutly have the feeling when seeing one in my mirrors (be it on the bike or in a car) of what is he going to try and nick me for!
There is several documented instances of the revenue police pulling killer manouvers in there cars to put another tick in their quota box, 'U' turns being a speciality.
I was subjucted to a near miss from a 'U' turning police car two years ago, he failed to make the turn in time and ended up broad side across the road in the face of oncoming traffic and me who had to take avoiding action. I raised my hand in a gesture of disbelief and shook my head, his response was to pull me over and waste my time "checking the machine". Fed up with this sort bullsh*t I reported him and he was dissiplined, but this is an example of how the (revenue) police conduct themselves over here.
I used to live near HINU when I attended KU, I never partied with those dudes though.
