I was too ADD to get past the first 30 seconds.

0:30 - 1:45 = LOL

"Do you want to start over?"

"uugghhgaj;iuguggugggghhghgughghhhhoooooohghguggggghhhhh"

That's pretty much the sound any 165 pound (maybe) soldier makes, when he's got a 250 pound Marine's knee in his chest. :sneaky:

Why don't you think about the gun and training that cop has before antagonizing them or expecting them to be always professional. When they shoot you your family gets all the money and you'll still be dead. You get nothing

I live in an area where cops randomly shooting you doesn't happen, thanks for the concern though.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you shouldn't be a loudmouth to police and harass them or belittle them. They may be professionals but you don't know what else they could be. You don't know their history or mentality. If you see ANYONE with a gun or a trained officer, you do not go around messing with them because they may react in a way you did not expect.

Respect the badge and gun. It's good for your health.

I generally dont dick around with anyone because... well basic politeness really, but rather than telling people they should be scared of their policemen because they have guns and may have mental health problems (really? WTF?) maybe you should complain more about your police not acting like trained professionals?

You honestly can't see the difference between the right to speak out against the government (what the First Amendment seeks to protect) and being an asshole and screaming about your extensive weekend military service in a cop's face? If he was screaming at an order taker at McDonald's, is that a "freedom of speech" issue as well? What if he was all up in your wife/girlfriend's face?

I'm not defending the cop's reaction (though I think Mr. Military is a complete douche), but to champion this as a "freedom of speech" issue represents a basic misunderstanding of the Constitution.

it is your freedom. and if you are being a douche and hindering law enforcement than that cop has a right to walk away and not do anything for you at all. but a cop does not have a right to attack someone who has said something offensive.

They all server their purpose, but they are far from equal.

This isn't the Waffen SS vs the Wehrmacht, this is the US' military branches we're talking about here. All serve the same purpose.

They are all equal in my eyes. Anyone that says differently is just begging for a "clique" status.
