but I sure wouldn’t be screaming at anyone if they had loaded guns drawn on me...perhaps there’s something cultural at work.

So, you're on your knees, unarmed, being threatened/accused wrongly - and not listened too - and then they start throwing your mom around - and you'd not make a peep?

I have 4 sons - and a daughter - every one of whom who would have yelled for the cop to stop.

And even if the car WERE stolen - hardly a crime needing lethal force when you've already got the man unarmed on the ground..

What you're intimating is to meekly kowtow to the new Stasi - which results in total capitulation

I can see it both ways. A cop is alone, outnumbered, he uses extra force to maintain control, people start appearing and seem to be challenging him.

Me, my family, I would hope they say something like - “This must be a mistake, let’s clear it up downtown”...rather than the alternative (but no, I don’t trust my wife either to stay cool).

Nothing good there, but there are PLENTY of better examples to show our drifting towards a police state.
