Interesting read, although I wonder if they taught this in police academy:

> And in no time, you had a dozen cops or more, out of their cars, fanned out in a circle, drawing their shotguns.

Hmm, cops in a circle aiming their guns at the middle. What could go wrong?

my uncle was a richmond city police officer who graduated from ecc. In 1982 he was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop by someone who snuck out of the backseat, snuck up behind him and shot him in the back fo the head. That is why whenever a cop seems uneasy or acting very precausious of me, i dont ever think twice about it.
