I say the sizzlean need to learn how to drive. heh. so, please, stop circulating and promoting the myths that enable these asschomps to get away with the crap they get away with. In my book, all cops ought to be expected to take a bullet before they dare shoot one at a suspect who hasn't fired at them. I realize that's extreme, but they're on MY payroll and yours. They have a public trust. They have a tremendous potential to do harm to people and that includes the ability to shoot people without benefit of a trial by a jury of their peers.
