But I did say it already in that there's no way for any of us to review exactly what happened here other than his story. The officer could have been a real ^ss yes, but it could also have been taken out of context by the OP ... yes? Is that possible? I have offered a counter viewpoint instead of just taking his side. Why? Because there is always two sides to every story AND I was asked.

And who am I? I am an avid member of this board, a motorcycle enthusiast, a person who sees good in others when they can't speak for themselves and somebody with an opinion ... just like you. I am not oblivious to police abuses, but the fact is society is subjected to more of the negative than the positive. I have had good fortune to see predominantly the good side in working with law enforcement officers in the past.

If you have experienced a bad side of law enforcement, there's nothing I can do about that. I know it can put a bad taste in your mouth.

And even if you were in a quiet room and he yelled at you, so what? Is your itty-bitty feelings hurt? Oh, poor baby. Join the Army and find out what it means to be yelled at.

But maybe I shouldn't be so harsh. You'll probably file a complaint with the moderators now: "Some guy was being mean to me. I'm going to go to my room and pout if you don't do something about it."

Careful Mike, hurting someone's feelings may soon be at least a misdemeanor . . .

John.

My bad, it was the left lane. I'm starting to make the same mistakes as the PO.
