In my first response in this thread I tried to be sympathetic and helpful,
but after Josip posted his latest response I have absolutely no sympathy for
him.  I still believe police should act like professionals in all
circumstances, that hasn't changed.  However, as Raven has pointed out,
Josip is a danger to everyone on the roads.  I have multiple medical
conditions, and if I don't feel up to driving (read that as 100% totally
focussed attention to driving, most people drive like morons and pay at most
50% attention to driving, I know what happens when vehicles collide, and I
hold myself to a higher standard), I get someone else to do it for me (wife,
family, friends, cab, etc).  It doesn't take a braniac to figure that out,
but apparently Josip lacks all concern for others and even his own family
(baby on lap???  are you that much of a moron Josip???).  He's also raising
a family of ingrates (your little shit of a kid flipped a cop the
bird...you're lucky he didn't go all LAPD on your sorry ass in front of her
and the baby Josip you dickweed).  Also, if you can't figure out how to keep
your vehicle roadworthy, Josip, you're a risk to everyone on the roads
regardless of your state of impairment/illness.  I know several diabetics
personally who have no trouble knowing when they need to manage their
chronic health condition, and knowing when they should and should not drive.
You apparently are too stupid to do either.  Again, Josip, I tried to be
sympathetic, but Raven is right, you need to get off the roads as you're a
threat to the health and safety of everyone.  Also, try and raise your
children not to be little shits like the one that flipped off the cop.

*sigh*
