Nothing personal here, Vince, but years ago, being an a-hole WAS a 'zappable offense' and we had a whole lot less of them to deal with. When one of the 'hoods' in my high school came into a classroom looking upset, the teacher asked him what was wrong. He said, 'Some guy named Dean crushed my cigarettes.' The teacher just smiled and nodded. Later, Dean was congratulated for standing up the the twerp. That set the relationships straight, but today even bad parents are ready to sue the school and everyone else involved over such an incident. Not only do we tolerate a-holes, but the system encourages them. As a group, we get the kind of society we tolerate. He could have said his piece and sat down, but instead, HE chose to cause a rucus and had to accept the choice of response from the officers. It's one of those things in life, if I step in front of a speeding truck, I WILL get run over... no right or wrong involved.
