I assumed, as did the others on this forum, that you were inviting discussion of this incident. What else did you suppose us to do?

K-9: intending no disrespect to you, I must state that rubicon's latest post caused my respect meter for him in this matter, and whatever his position and statements regarding his and his wife's experience in this matter to drop to zero.
I understood and appreciated his perception of the incident. I empathized with the feelings that his and his wife felt as a consequence of that incident.
Until the "his tin badge" comment.
I acknowledge that the comment specified "his" tin badge; however, the overriding implication of "tin badge" connotes a condescending attitude towards the law enforcement profession.
Slam that individual officer if you feel it appropriate. I get that, I really do.
Projecting negative emotions past that, not so much.
BTW: If I were in the originally described situation and felt as rubicon did, I would have simply pulled into a populated area (parking lot of a gas station/store) and let the officer go on his way.
Other than a lost moment or two while the officer passed, there would have been no harm, no foul, no raised blood-pressure....
