6. "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free!"
Those lyrics just flew through my mind.

7. The fact that we're talking about our favorite form of police abuse tells me a lot
about the state of our "democracy."

8. Decisions, decisions!!
Edited on Tue Nov-29-11 05:38 PM by Demoiselle
I'm leaning toward police dog. Perhaps I could charm him. And I always travel with yummy dog treats in my pockets.
I guess Old School Baton would be my second choice.
Maybe I'm a Luddite, after all.

9. Why should we prefer any? None are necessary for the
average citizen. They should only be used if someone is violent and a danger to themselves or others.

11. I just want to know what it takes to do any of the above to a peaceful person?
I know absolutely that I could not use any of those actions against a peaceful person protesting whatever.

This takes a sick and twisted mind.

These people? :silly: should be proud of themselves and I can't not imagine what they tell their families at the end of the day. :shrug:

20.  What, no poll?
I'm leaning toward the baton: at least it takes real effort on the part of the "enforcer". It seems like that would make excessive use less likely.
