Nowadays, for saying that, your friend would get slammed to the ground, handcuffed and tasered..in that order. If the cops happened to be in that person`s house, they`d herd the family into the living room and make them watch as the cops pump multiple rounds into the family dog just for the intimidation effect.
...and minor children would be pulled from their beds and held at gunpoint.
I fear it is only a matter of time before they decide to “up” their intimidation tactics once more.
