Alpine, have you have seen the movie "Crash"? I am really sorry about that--it will pass. I wonder if maybe there should be a cap on the amount of time a cop spends on the street before they are obliged to take a chill out sabbatical...maybe teaching elementary school or US Forest Service or civil defense. It's getting to the point where knowing your rights and defended them leads to a "resisting without violence" charge. And I swear cops all appear to be on steroids these days. In Florida, the FHP folks seem to be a lot more professional. I have a horrible cop experience (me, white, cop Dominican) which ended up with a settlement from the city, I can relate, but this whole thing of DWB has got to stop.

Incidentally, last night, a friend of ours who works for a member of Congress got pulled doing 98 in a 70. He got off with a warning. Hmmmm.
