Good for you, Tobra.

The problem here is having a double standard.

We all realize cops have a dirty job to do - but that doesn't justify having two sets of rules when it comes to obeying/enforcing the law.

The problem is the type of person who is needed in law enforcement is the same type of person who is an outlaw himself. Maybe "one step" away.

There are exceptions - I'm just generalizing as to the topic of discussion.

Law enforcement needs to enforce their own but typically they don't do that because of the "unwritten code" to watch each other's backs. So that is the basis for what happened in the OP's initial post.

A private citizen couldn't sit by and witness a cop behaving in a dangerous (not to mention illegal) fashion without doing something.

I say good for him.

Doesn't mean you or I should do this.

A trucker? He's a "road warrior" and has more at stake for the most part.

To a degree it's also our job to call these jokers on it - but there's different ways to do it without pulling them over. Dash cams and jotting down plate numbers and vehicle IDs.

The mainstream media should be airing some of this stuff as well.
