When this is the case, rough stuff will happen. Many of these people tend to be violent and wish to let their alleged friends know how tough they are by seriously resisting. And many of these same people are career criminals, too. It is time, in fact, it is far past time when our communities should be showing a whole lot more supportive ness and appreciation for the often-thankless job the law enforcement people have.
