Point? You made a point? I'm sorry, I thought logic was needed in order to make a point. ..I guess not. . .which is why you conclude. . .wait. . .not conclude. . .that takes logic. I guess for you thoughts just "appear" in your head..which is why the thought appeared in your head, in response to what I wrote, that I'm against the constitution. ..perhaps if I wrote it on colored construction paper in crayon you could at least feel better about it?

I'm not "against the Constitution". .I'm not even against sophmoric, illogical, chatter about the Constitution. ..chatter til your hearts content. . .I'm just saying the kid is a smart-ass punk playing little-boy small time games. ..the cops are in the real world where punks are killing cops daily.

the cops are in the real world where punks are killing cops daily.

The Bill of Rights applies to the "real world" as well.

First, I am a medically retired cop courtesy of of a punk with a gun. (Cost me one of my two favorite lungs.)

Second, the Constitution does not contain any clauses to the effect of "all this goes on hold if the cop feels like it." If the cop cannot remain within the boundaries of the Constitution, then he needs to find something else to do for a living.

Third, the leading cause of death for cops is cardiovascular disease, not punks shooting at them.

The cops were pretty clearly in the wrong, especially when they started threatening the man with jail time.
