This may sound strange but the best thing to do is flatter them.

Talk about how wonderful Law Enforcement is, and talk nicely about the Constitution, and how great this country is where you can express who you are and such.

Ultimately, cops are people that love this country and it's laws. Even if you don't agree with all of the laws, and they probably don't either, there is a democratic system to change them.

Being nice towards them can go a long way towards them letting you go with a warning...

The best thung to do is to treat them with the same respect you have the right to expect from them. :police:

Hello :)

Your points are absolutely valid, and I appreciate your thoughts. I'm a little slow when it comes to acknowledging comments, still getting the hang of things. I'm always afraid I'm bumping a post I've written too much, but in keeping of the discussion I think it is appropriate.

I have great admiration of you. Inspiration. I think of the work I've done to get where I am, and it pales in comparison to the accomplishments you have. I know I'm not the only one who is inspired by your station, and status.

It goes in step with what I want to try to accomplish on my home turf - helping to show all sides of the equation. Adding people as part of the solution. Too often, and too easy a viewpoint can become one sided. I mentioned some of my negative experiences as examples from my own life. There are more sides to the general subject. There are damn good police officers out there, more than most realize. What the world needs is to see the good outshine the bad, but it often doesn't go that way. I'm no different, and I realize that.

I'm learning to put aside my differences. Coming together is the best way to accomplish the greater good. Even though we do this, its not always perfect. Something of a tribal paradox that creates conflict -but altogether is an illusion made by irrational fears.

I can only imagine how much you have endured, and worked for. Even though we don't know much about each other, I can say that I am proud of you. And all of here should honor the strength you represent to the community. :)
