BTW, I don't count NC as 'the South' in this regard. It's kinda Northern-y in it's approach to everything except guns.
No need to explain, we have our own share of "rude cop" episodes. My experience has been that cops usually do the right thing, they just sometimes don't do it in the right or polite way. We are constantly working on our officer's "bedside manner."
Unfortunately, we have carpetbaggers, and South Carolina lawyers that like to play Senator! It was always Dimocrat, and will be for a long time... I was born there, have a home there, don't stay there long!
Now, WV is where I spend most of my time, except when on the road in my RV, or cruzin on one of Celebrity's boats!
Damn, son, you ain't from around here, are you?
Oh wait, you must be thinking of the Raleigh area where all the liberals live, not the rest of the state.
