Obviously we have our own individual moral compass but we must all follow the same law otherwise we run the risk of anarchy/disorder. As far as the gender angle goes which has been debated in this thread, I think a bit of common sense should apply. Wether you are male or female and no matter what race you are you should expect to be dealt with harshly if you attempt to get physical in any way with the police. Even if you feel you are wrongly being targeted/arrested. The right way to deal with it is to submit to the arrest without resisting and then contest the charges if necessary. Personally I am for equality where everyone is treated fairly under law with no consideration of gender/race/religion etc. Also regarding the cop carrying weapons, not only does he have to take into consideration his own safety but that of others as well. Consider what could happen not only to him but also others in close proximity if his weapon/s were taken from him by someone. @S.T.A.G.E. You cannot have it both ways. Either women are equal hence get treated equally. Or you consider them unequal in some respects and they should then have specific special considerations/privelages over men.
