Why should the police be cautious of the public? Is the public the enemy of the police? Are the public considered to be property of the State and the police there to keep them subdued?
Because they are in charge of us, and therefore they must be obeyed.
A few years ago I was leaving the shooting range here in north harris county texas. Didn’t see I was in the go straight lane and made an illegal left turn. I was promptly pulled over by a Harris county deputy. As he approached my truck I informed him I was armed with my M1A .308, my 1911 45 auto, the pistol grip 12 gauge mossberg, the dan wesson 357 revolver and the marlin lever action 22 mag rifle all loaded and sitting in my front seat. He looked inside my truck and said “yes you are, please be more observant of the turn lanes and please be more careful, have a good day”. I thought that was nice of him.
