[Robert Teesdale]

As to the thuggery of cops it is best to take necessary precautions, act with extreme deference and be respectful at all times.

Groveling helps also.

It is wise not to antagonize someone with a gun and a license to kill.

Funny, that's what 90 million armed citizens said.

[Louis Foxwell]

Grovelling does not help. It is precisely the wrong attitude to take with a bully.
I do not understand your reference to 90 million armed citizens.
