I agree with you Badray.....
If burning a flag is protected "speech," the flipping the bird is also protected speech.
The caselaw in the area of the duty owed by a policeman to the public at large is quite clear: The police owe you no duty of protection UNLESS they've undertaken a special type of relationship with you, like entering you into the witness protection program, etc. Common, everyday taxpayers, absent that special relationship, cannot sue when the police department fails to protect from rape, robbery, murder, etc.
There should be a chicken in every pot and a Kimber in every kitchen.....that's the only way to protect yourself.
And both should remain so. I would argue that it won't be long from outlawing flag burning til it's illegal to talk bad about politicians. Oh, it already is since passage of McCain Feingold Camfpaign Finance Reform.

How about a H&K on the hip or a Colt in the car? LOL
