All the good cops resigned or retired in the late 80's where I worked, including me. Nothing left but GI Joe commandos on a military wannabe power trip. I wouldn't trust ANY of them. Just wait until the Iraq guys get back and become cops and prison guards. What a freeking nightmware that will be.
It takes a lot to get me angry enough to want to hurt someone. In fact, no one has been able to do it in the last 27 years of my life. But I would have hurt that asshole in a heart beat.
The last time I came close was when I saw some dude getting ready to smack his girlfriend around in a back alley out in Sturgis last summer. I told him that I don't normally get involved in other folks' business but if he hits her, he's gonna have to hit me too. He got the message and she slipped away unhurt.
