    Well you were talking about impeding an investigation "in my neighborhood," not at your door.

    Actually you may wanna brush up on your constitution. You dont have a right to impede and investigation in your neighborhood. Now if this was on your property in your home that is another story, but good luck, unfortunately, of using that as a defense in a court of law.

    There is actually an example of this. There is a neighborhood in Fayetteville NC, called Bonie Dune. Any time police would send cars, for any reason, they would get shot at from a lot of the houses, but the ambulances went in without molestation. the local swat decided it would be a good idea to use an ambulance to go in and conduct a raid, and I think you can see where this is going, now the ambulances get shot at and cant go into the area.

    "ans" I would attribute to a typo, the d is next tot he s. In addition sometimes, such as preceding an h, as in hour "an" seems to feel more appropriate for some reason.

    2. Logical fallacy, Violent crime is down. Loss of life of cops is declining, not rising. Gun ownership is down.. If anything is stripping down the civility towards cops it is their own actions.

    3.Well we can start with the 4th amendment if you like ;

    Right to feel secure in your persons. Right against unreasonable searches and seizes.

    Actually you can.. Do you think that until the 1960s the populace was not as well armed as they are today? Back when they only carried a pistol if that? And even still, no one is arguing against the need for a SWAT team in some situation, but not even close to what they are used for now adays.

    3 things 1. This site does not cover only tech, part of the stuff that matters. Even still if you wanted to argue it there is plenty of tech going into these militarized police. 2. When you became a cop you knew what you were getting into. You knew it was a dangerous field and this goes into number 3 3. You swore an oath to uphold the constitution. To violate it, like in this way, should mean instant termination, and jail time.

    Actually you got that in reverse. Spouses cannot be compelled to testify against you, there is nothing to stop them from testifying for you. And why should it be illegal? You are making some sort of conclusion without stating a reason. If someone is trying to assault me, it does not mean I want to kill them, I just want them to stop. Killing them is one way, scaring them is another.

    So getting up in someones face and threatening them is not an act of aggression? Showing that Zimmerman initiated the conflict would have been easy, by stalking him Zimmerman initiated the conflict.

    Yea, even when those people they "defended" themselves from were just defending themselves in the first place. It is like a cruel joke. By defending himself against Zimmerman he opened the door to Zimmerman to be able to get off on murdering him.
