I didn't SAY it was a DUI checkpoint. Instead I asked doc how he would
like to have a gun pointed at his head at a DUI checkpoint? It was an
example and those happen around here. So the cops are judge, jury and
executioner now?

But it wasn't a DUI checkpoint. There was a guy on the loose who had
already wounded four cops and engaged them in a gun battle on and off
all night. These were /very nervous cops./ They set up the checkpoint
in an attempt to make sure the perp didn't get away; it wasn't just
routine intimidation of motorists. They had to be ready to instantly
shoot the dude up close and personal if they found him in a car at the
checkpoint, because he would have been more than ready to shoot them.

The photo was allegedly taken at a checkpoint. How would you like them
to point a gun at your head at a DUI checkpoint. You need to realize
that THEY are our servants not the other way around. Our taxes pay
their salaries. This is not Iraq and we don't need the tactics the
military used there for our towns and cities. They are supposed to be
PEACE OFFICERS not BULLIES. We should stand firm against a a police
state.

I think you are jumping to a lot of quick, and incorrect,
conclusions. I remember this happening to me (guns in my face), when
I lived in Oregon, nearly 40 years ago. A friend and I had been
visiting friends in the Bay Area. Got a late start going home, and
ended up in Roseburg, OR around 2 AM, looking for a gas station. We
stopped at a 7-11 to ask where one might be.
Just after we left the store, and got back in the car, the robbery
alarm at the 7-11 malfunctioned - cops came screaming in from all
directions. They focused on one particular vehicle, because it had
four [innocent] young guys in it, though one of the officers was also
cursing at me and my friend, while alternately pointing his weapon at
our heads.
It was pretty stressful. Yeah, cops have been into a doctrine of
overwhelming force, for a *long* time. These days, they often need it.

This happened only about an hour's drive from where I live. I would
