      Yeah, but these are cops we’re talking about—they’re conditioned to escalate at the first sign of noncompliance.

      Can you really picture a cop physically intervening, being pushed aside, and saying “ok, never mind”?

      So…when the police FIND someone breaking the law they decide which party they want to help.

      1. Tax paying citizen that live here.

      OR

      1. Masked gunman without papers.
