"Sir, you're being a jerk" Lol. As if you didn't need more justification cuz of your feelings xD

I'm glad the guy still kept his composure, same for the police guy. It could have got pretty violent.

The question is, would it have become violent if he was of a different race.  Just like the Nurse who was arrested because she would not let the officer take blood from a patient, Cops either not knowing the laws they are governed undered or just do not care can turn such situation into a deadly one.  I have seen time and again when people defend what the cop did even if death occured, it was alwasy blamed on the citizen not doing what he was asked to do even if he is in the right.  Being right and being dead is definitely something to think about when in such a situation.

Ah Race, i knew there was something missing.
