An American peasant's natural position in front of his Owners' violent sheepdogs...
I am sure there are many good cops and that is my experience with them, mostly positive. But more and more I hear stories of people on stuff as innocuous as a traffic stop with a cop with a real attitude. With the buzzcut, the leather gloves, the gortex military style holster and a huge canon in it. The cops that have a hair trigger tempers and just want to provoke a physical confrontation to show how tough they are. I had one state trooper outside Orlando who pulled my daughter and I over for speeding. After the normal “license and registration” I was waiting in the car talking with my daughter. The tropper pokes his head in the car abruptly..”What the F*** did you say, get out of the car Sir....”. My daughter got upset and I was being calm and asked the trooper...”Sorry sir what did I say?... Long story short, I got out of the car and he got in my face and then on a dime calmed down, gave me my ticket and left. I was like “WTF was that!”
I do Grav Maga and a few guys in my class, cops who should NOT be learning Grav. They are like the HS bully with a badge
“Wolves” is more accurate.
“Sheepdogs” is more apt for those of us who speak out against them, IMHO.
