It's true, and it sucks.
America's favorite thing is frivilous lawsuits.

I'd also like to add that, for any situation the police are involved in, they have to think about one thing above all else. The safety of everyone involved. What they did hurt no one, and prevented the harm of others.

I'd also like to add that I'm not suckling the proverbial teat of the police. I myself have dealt with numerous 'a-hole' cops, and I've been discriminated against by them and treated like dirt. However, I understand that 1) they're doing their jobs, and so long as they dont violate my rights I'm fine and 2) not all cops are jerks. I state this because I dont want anyone thinking that I'm sticking up for the police in this situation simply because they're the police.
