... unless you believe in that Freeman bullshit, of course.

There are no rights that can not be taken away, including life, so I'm not sure how that is relevant?

Dude, he pointed a GUN in someone's face that was not threatening him. And he got a fucking note. A note. You know what you or I would've gotten for doing the same to him? Prison.

Cops like that should be drawn and quartered.

Seriously. A gun? In my kid's face?

There'd be problems that would extend beyond the court.

When did we decide it was ok to let Cops perform to a much lower standard than even the average citizen? The laws should favor the citizens, not the states.

The difference is between something that is granted, and something that is given by default.

I was only talking about the administrative penalties, not the legal ones.

Again, "govt granted rights" or privileges, or whatever.

So what legal penalties did the cop in question face Wildchild? I'll bet you $100 he didn't get any. But if you pointed a gun at him you'd get 20 years in prison.

So fucked up.

You point a gun at a cop, and if you don't get shot, you'll be jailed.
Cop does it to your minor child, and gets a note?

I'd give him a note. One word. Goodbye.

Odd law but there for a reason. We seem to have problems with exotic animals running loose in Atlanta. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/22604290/detail.html

Sadly the Zebra obeyed traffic laws better than our drivers. And knew better than to get on MARTA
