    Yes I remember the video plenty. It is always in my mind when entering urban areas and most every time I lock my doors. My mind is already made up I'm going to run over anyone who tries that on me. If I miss I'm backing up to try again!

    BTW it's good practice to not be posting on the internet about carrying an equalizer. You never know what kind of Barney Fife creeper cop reads this and it could affect anyone of us drivers if they decide to tear apart the truck.

    Whats the Port City in NJ? Cant remember but when we used to deliver into there I never stopped at the lights if I could prevent it. Just slowed enough to make sure it was safe to cross. They were having issues at the time of people robbing tractor drivers at lights.

    LA was just another 'peaceful' protest. Like the ones we're seeing today. I remember it well.
    But, what are they really protesting for? The right to ignore the cops when they say hands behind your back? Immunity from our nation's laws?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but in just about all of these cases, wasn't the 'victim' resisting arrest in some way?
    I'm certainly not condoning the cops either when they go overboard, as in SC, but maybe they just get the ##### of people not listening to them. JMO

    Well in this Fred Gray case looks like the cops are in deep crap! They just announced they are prosecuting the officers. My father was a 30 year cop and said from the get go these cops were screwed. The officers had no right to stop Mr. Gray and followed ZERO procedure in restraining him properly. Why do these Thugs burn down their own neighborhoods? Well, thats a different conversation but basicly its an excuse to act like animals. They could care less about Freddie Gray!
