I'm not sure the nation's police fully appreciate just what kind of effect this ridiculously callous practice has on the public's attitude towards them and the work they're doing.

You do not shoot our dogs and expect our compliance and respect in return.

They are just practicing getting ready to shoot us in the next big uprising. Just remember, do not use a handgun, they got vests.

Some of them prefer you don't comply, it gives them an excuse to beat the tar out you. The cops don't care if you respect them in a favorable sense. If you respect them out of fear, that is just fine - maybe even better.

Correct. They demand our compliance and we pay them for it.
