OK, ok, cops have a hella stressful job, and they deserve free doughnuts, and the people whos civil rights they violate MIGHT have deserved to be punched around, but Traffic laws were designed for everybodys safety, i see cops roll right through red lights w/ no sirens ALL the time. if it was safe, why cant we all do it? If we didn't have complex traffic patterns and lights and such, it would be Chaos. A police vehicle with no sirens on has just as much responsibility as you or I on the road, and the fact that cops abuse their power in this reguard is only an indication of the many other ways they use their power to raise themselves above the laws that reduce Chaos. Fother Muck the police.
Well, at least you spelled doughnuts correctly. The rest of your post was complete horse dung...
Let me take a second to say this. I have been harassed, mistreated and even acosted by a police officer improperly (Atlanta, super bowl 99). But, I do not, for even a single second think it is indicative of the average police officer or department.
