on my most polite demeanor in their company, I totally respect the way Mr. Walker handled himself during this encounter with two hostile cops who tried to intimidate him verbally and physically. The best point made here, IMO is that cops need better training in the law and in the civil rights of all citizens. Cops need to learn that if someone give them the finger they need to ignore it and go on with their duties. In other words, they need to grow up and be professionals. Cops are way too concerned with forcing people to respect them, and far too sensitive to the slightest suggestion that they are not respected as all-powerful supreme beings. If Mr. Walker was an African American, he probably would have suffered far worse doing the encounter because cops become very upset when people of color refuse to kiss their ass.
