This does, indeed, make their job extremely taxing. But as you said, they were off-duty, so they're haughty, "I'm a Cop" attitude (yes, that is with a capital 'C') should also have been taken off duty. <BR/><BR/>I think people in authority often have to have a distanced attitude, as I'm sure you know being a teacher. Get too close to those you are 'authoritying,' so to speak, and you risk being seen as a pal. <BR/><BR/>But to even entertain the idea that their attitude or behaviors can have a reason, or an excuse, is, in effect, empowering that. To say that their attitude is explained (not necessarily justified) gives them just that little ounce of right to do so, and that is just that little ounce too much.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you experienced that at the rally. Though I don't always agree with your positions or beliefs, you shouldn't have been subjected to that when you were being peaceful and, in all aspects, logical.<BR/><BR/>I like your response to his "come-on," though. They were just little boys who haven't gotten a handle on their own sexualities yet. Bring it on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
