Youre wrong. Youre just so wrong. The officer in question has even been put on admin leave for violating agency regulations.

Ok, that is pretty insane

Youre wrong because while you complied with officer requests you dont always have to. First off they have to have some kind of cause to search you and they cant make you put out a cigarette. I can tell a cop to go *** himself and they can sit there and take it or move on. If they act because you do something they dont lile its an abuse of power. You shpuld lnow your actual right before you blindly comply woth everything an officer requeats you do.

Also if you didnt read all that i wrote... the cop was placed on admonistrative leave as he was found to act in violation of police regulations during the stop.

Regardless of your rights or how you could respond. Typically you shouldn't do as you suggested cuz you can and will be arrested. If you want to turn the police into the bad guys. Have fun with that. Personally I wouldn't suggest doing any such thing. Common sense.

There's nothing to discuss. That is a genuine verse from the Quran. "Qawamoon 3la el Nisaa" doesn't sound bad in Arabic because it is derived from the word "Qam" - "stood upright" and "Qum" - "stand upright" - so it means to stand upright for women and have the authority to do so. Arabic is a very very beautiful and complex language, when you transliterate and don't take the nuances into consideration you're going to end up with a partial truth most of the times. I'm not saying Islam doesn't make the Patriarch the authority in the family; it most certainly does. But it qualifies the position as well.

Is it your right to think she deserved a smack in the chops for her actions? Yes. Is it that cop's right to give it to her? Hell to the no.

...then again, this is coming from someone who previously didn't understand the idea of freedom of religion applies beyond Christianity, either.

Your basic understand of civil liberties is lacking.

Now you're just creating the story. The cop didn't do any such thing. Once again your own personal vision in your head. Your own reality.

Then everyone should fight with cops for shits and giggles. Officer asks me something. I reply respectfully. They ask me to do something. I do it respectfully. Bottom line: Cops are doing a job, like everyone else, and showing respect and appreciation for those doing thier job would remove such instances from taking place to begin with.

The fact that you think not showing respect to a police officer is a jailable offense is laughable...

If you could be so kind to show me how I don't understand Freedom of Religion.

pretty serious offense

....
Youre wrong again... mouthing off to a cop is not an offense they can arrest you for....

There were a few threads recently where you and some of your like-minded cohorts were very either very vocal or very +'ing each other even when you were posting yourselves about anti-Muslim behavior endorsed by people like Donald Trump.

Oh I remember you saying something sometime back in some other forum that I probably took entirely out of context.

How hard do you have to try to ignore the fact that the officer was disciplined for stepping outside the bounds of his job and not following guidelines?

I have told an officer no before. i have refused to vomply woth unreasonable requests. Police officers requests are not absolute and all of them are fallible just like the rest of us. They make mistakes at times or bad judgement calls.

This one is a little more surreal just to watch.

Absolutely blew my mind. Then you take into consideration that no charges are being pressed against him and I'm left in disbelief. Accidental discharge of the gun they say. That's impossible. I seen it go off twice it looked and he didn't exactly look startled by such an "accident" taking place. He just blatantly killed the guy. Whom just survived what looked to be a horrific car crash too nonetheless. Only to be murdered by someone whom had absolutely ZERO reasons to be pulling out a pistol on him in such a situation in the 1st place. He acted more like someone whom just sabotaged a vehicle to create an accident and seen a survivor whom was supposed to be dead and decided the task wasn't yet completed. Unreal. Accident my ***. He made sure nobody survived that crash.

Why is it so few people understand civil liberties while they run around screaming "freedom"?

The Washington Post retracted an editorial cartoon Tuesday evening, after Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) lashed out over the depiction of his grade-school daughters as dancing monkeys for their appearance in a presidential campaign ad.

The animated cartoon featured a Santa Claus-costumed Cruz winding a music box as two leashed monkeys danced in elf costumes. The monkeys represent Cruz's daugthers Caroline, 7, and Catherine, 4.

"Classy. @washingtonpost makes fun of my girls. Stick w/ attacking me--Caroline & Catherine are out of your league," Cruz tweeted Tuesday with a link to the cartoon.

The editorial cartoonist, Ann Telnaes, wrote that Cruz waived the "unspoken rule" to leave politician's kids out of cartoons with a TV ad that ran during last week's "Saturday Night Live."

On Tuesday evening, a note from editor Fred Hiatt appeared on the Washington Post's website reading: "It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree."

The ad featured Cruz, his wife, Heidi, and their daughters in a fake infomercial for a book of politically charged Christmas stories. Tales include “How ObamaCare Stole Christmas” and “Auditing St. Nick.”

Cruz’s daughter Caroline reads from “The Grinch Who Lost Her Emails," and Catherine asks him to read "The Senator Who Saved Christmas."

"When a politician uses his children as political props, as Ted Cruz recently did in his Christmas parody video in which his eldest daughter read (with her father’s dramatic flourish) a passage of an edited Christmas classic, then I figure they are fair game," Telnaes wrote in a post with the cartoon.
