[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2748945, member: 13337"] It's not their equipment,,, It's their militaristic attitude. I'm a veteran,,, We were taught to put the enemy under submission. But we didn't have to determine who the enemy was,,, Our command staff did that for us. Civilian cops have forgotten that pesky little "Innocent until proven guilty" thing,,, They seem to embrace "Kill them all and let God sort out the sinners",,, Or at least "Arrest them all and let the lawyers sort it out". I am not some low life they need to demand complete and immediate submission from,,, I don't dress that way, look that way, or conduct myself that way,,, I am a law abiding, tax paying, mind my own business citizen. So why is it that every time I have even the smallest interaction with a cop,,, They are demanding that I "Get on the ground Mother-******!" That's what happened the last time I was approached by a cop,,, I refused to drop to my knees so his partner put me down. I was told by their watch commander that they had no way of knowing that I wasn't the guy who just mugged a college kid,,, I told him that if his people had to resort to those tactics out of "Officer Safety",,, They were too cowardly to be cops in the first place. I'm extremely tired of this crap,,, But that's how they are being trained nowadays. I'm glad I'm older than dirt. America as I knew it has died. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
