I can say that you are definitely set in your views. But then I never thought I would sway you any more than you were going to sway me.
With my experience of police actions and responses, I am not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt every time. Far to often they have been shown to be actions of power, force and control, not diffusing situations, not actual 'peace officer' work. Police work just tends to draw a certain kind of individual, and a large percentage of the time, it is exactly the kind of individual that should never be given that kind of power. And I have seen the wrong side of it to many times.
Obviously you do tend to grant the police every benefit of the doubt you can.
I doubt we will ever agree.
Have a good thanksgiving.
