"The fact is that you are more likely, as a law abiding citizen to have a loaded gun pointed at you by a police officer than by a criminal. Think about it..."

This is quite the accusation and I hope you have the statistics to back it up. Otherwise, please refrain from assuming anything.

And I'll use my experience with cops and criminals as unscientific data (you seem to appreciate such proof, thus far). I have had a gun in my face on two separate occasions because criminals put it there. I have yet to experience this with a cop, in fact, one of our local officers suggested (unsolicited) a number of self-defense firearms in which I might be interested when I picked up my concealed carry permit.

The positive encounters I have had with law enforcement far outweigh the negative, and this seems to be the general consensus among those I know.

If you are so miffed about the police power, then do something about it. Get your butt in gear and do some voting and attend some city council/selectmen's meetings.

Also, it would do you some good to get to know a cop or two.

I don't believe you. Two times huh? Where the H3LL do you live, and who do you hang out with? You must be a magnet for at temped murders...
I bet you won't find ones other person on this thread who has has a gun pointed at them by a criminal even once. Sure it wasn't 5 times?
