We haven't 'become' anything. It is simple human nature. Some people would blow off don-o's letter as a minor annoyance and think nothing of it. But some people are vindictive, aren't they? Some people lack the maturity to take thing for what they are and truly 'sweat the small stuff'.

Please do not tell me that you do not know at least 5 people who take even the slightest of slights and make a federal case out of it or hold an unreasonable, unhealthy long term grudge because of it. They exist in the police force. At your favorite restaurant (do not make them mad, either). At the DMV. In your own family.

If something happens that is a serious violation of your rights then damn straight, by all means, fight like hell. But for a minor inconvenience, be the bigger man, let it slide and be confident that you did the right thing...JFK

One would hope that cops are professionals and have better things to do with their time. Immaturity is not a trait cops should have.

“Please do not tell me that you do not know at least 5 people who take even the slightest of slights and make a federal case out of it or hold an unreasonable, unhealthy long term grudge because of it.”

I know some, again if cops are this immature they should be fired.

“If something happens that is a serious violation of your rights then damn straight, by all means, fight like hell.”

When exactly are the rights important?
