Cop shoots motorcyclist in the back

You are either a perp or suspect. If you are lucky they might toss you into the general "civilian" bracket.

Well, what I personally do is participate in organizations that stand against this type of behavior from authority figures like the much hated ACLU, NORML, and so forth. I also congress with like minded individuals and participate in local protests, etc. (Like the recent Marijuana March in Dallas where we were overshadowed by 25,000 protesting Mexicans. ) And BTW, its not because I'm some loser that sits in his basement smoking pot all day...its because the War on Drugs has led us to this point. We fight that back and we'll get our police forces back under control. Guaranteed.

But, I believe the best thing you can do, and especially you specifically as an intelligent and well-respected person....is just to spread the word. Talk to people you know, educate, make aware...things like that. I've changed a lot of people's minds by just talking to them, believe it or not....though it rarely happens on the internet.

And to that effect, educate yourselves, subscribe to sites that cover stories like this, civil rights infringements and so on. There's too much information available to us on the 'net, right at our fingertips, to not be educated.

You know, working with the different departments might not be a bad idea. I've already got an in with the track as a training facility - a few motor units use our facility as a training ground. I figure each year I take on a cause to push an agenda - last year was the lane splitting. I'm now the contact for Senator Carona on this agenda item. There has to be some way to broaden the topic without creating muddy-waters.

We could have more freedoms on motorcycles if we could change the public persona that every motorcyclist is a baby killer. Right?
