    WOW! **I** could see why before they even mentioned it. He acts more like a reasonable and loving parent, than a person that fancies himself some sort of king.

    I think EVERYONE knows people make mistakes and SOMETHING has to keep them in check. The tickets are a sort of incentive. A reasonable person wouldn't complain, unless the cop is nasty or fancies himself a sort of king.

    It is like the video I posted a few days ago with Josie. Coincidentally, HER message was to cops. She first spoke against the bully attitude, and then said they should consider themselves merely a citizen that can do this OFFICIALLY. She said if a citizen can't do it that THEY shouldn't.

    That's a good story. We need more "Mayberry" and less "S.W.A.T.".

        Sadly, people often LAUGH at idyllic things like mayberry. I forget whether it is fact or not, but many consider mayberry to be based on the 1950s-1960s "Mount Airy, North Carolina". HECK, I MYSELF have seen such towns. That they would later be considered like myths is kind of crazy.

        TODAY, the police that used to at one point rather recently not even have GUNS are getting to be more and more like SWAT and SWAT, thus rendered redundant, is getting to be more and more like the military.

        But yeah, "more like mayberry, and less like swat" is a good concise statement.

    That video should be used as a teaching tool for all Law Enforcement.

    A lot of times they get a bad rap, sure some deserve it but most don't, I have friends and family on the force and It's a job I wouldn't or couldn't do, they have one of the highest divorce rate and they put it on the line every day.

    The video was awesome, I wish they were all like that,
