Whatever happened to the simple fact that this tragedy happened to a person? Being a cop is irrelevant. You do realize that bad people also go after un-armed people and kill them too! Do you not? If you do not, please share with us where you live because that's a mighty nice town where civilians are not tragically killed by bad people and I'm sure others would love to live there too!

Biosurfer, by excusing the not always appropriate behavior of someone who is in power, you are putting them on a pedestal and putting civilians, like me for example, below them.

There is a line, but yes, if they are tense, write it off. Aggressive, depends upon what you mean by aggressive. If they pull you over for a broken tail light, pull you out of the car through the window and pistol whip you, no. But if they are tense and not being super sweet, sure.

It's unfortunately, not that uncommon for cops to get hurt or killed during routine traffic stops.

Not everyone, but a lot of people that talk about cops being rude, also talk about giving cops attitude.
