About the worst thing I ever said to a police officer was "OK, my registration is in the glove compartment, and I am going to reach for it slowly now, ok?"
To which the officer said, "Why are you acting so paranoid"
And I replied, "Because the last officer who also pulled me over because my car fit the description of a car used in a robbery pulled out his gun and stuck it in my face when I reached for the glove compartment, and I don't want to get shot in the face".
I've been in that situation with the robbery and matching car description only there were many of them and they were taking aim while crouched down behind their cruisers. It does get your heart beating.
Yeah. The gun-in-face officer drug me out and made me lie face-down on hot asphalt.
That was nice.
I was going to say its viscious but we both got it wrong it seems.
Vicious = savage
Viscous = fluid
Viscious = NA
I thought so, but spell check gave me a red wavy line when I typed the i so I assumed I was wrong,
Yeah it flags the "i" if you started with visc.
I just realized I was trying to type NA in your examples.
BTW
Sid Viscous would be a creepier name than Sid Vicious.
My sister pointed out that well dogs do drool.
The moral of this story is...
They send cops to classes to teach them how to deescalate interactions, and then they send 'em to other classes telling them they need to dominate and establish authority, so the deescalate stuff doesn't stick.
That... and get them hopped up on adrenaline because they're afraid, you're in a world of hurt.
Learn to deescalate as a citizen. Do not become belligerent. Be helpful, soothing... like you're are dealing with a potentially viscous dog.
