I do see where you are coming from, but we are not looking for a fight with the cops...it is somewhat of an exercise on where the cops draw the line...whether they choose to violate our rights when they have no reason to do so, or do their job and maintain the oath they swore to uphold. After my handcuff incident, I realized that even without provocation, my rights can be violated. I was not the one with the scary gun, I simply chose to stand up to an officer that was clearly in the wrong. This is somewhat related to what is going on with the TSA...when do we say enough is enough? You are not going to violate my rights, just so everyone around you feels safe. You is referring to government authority.
