I’d rather have respect “or bow down”, as you say, to authority when that authority enforces the laws that we, Texans, voted on and expect to be enforced, rather than bow down to a known criminal element.

That is the problem with false conservatives such as yourself. You don’t understand the difference between tyranny and good government.

This cop followed the laws that we voted on. The Texas government is enforcing the laws that we voted on. That is good government. Good government is by the people and does what the people elect them to do. Good government prevents anarchy.

Tyranny is when government enforces laws that we didn’t vote for or ignores laws that we did for vote. That is the difference.

You must prefer anarchy because you think this lady had the right to ignore the laws that Texans voted for and want enforced within our State. That isn’t much different than a liberal Obama supporter because they also believe that they have the right to ignore any laws that they dislike, despite what the public mandates.

In your mind, good government means no flexibility. The law is the law. Texans did not vote for each law,( by the way), the government did.
That means in your state, I can get arrested and thrown in jail by not signaling a lane change .That is your law.Do you feel good about that law?

I wonder what the law is in your state if your dog gets loose? Does the cop get to shoot it?

You sound very inflexible. In your minds eye, the law is the law. I believe that a good police officer evaluates each situation, and makes a judgment based on the situation.

I also believe in jury nullification. Sometimes, laws made by the government are ridiculous.
