    That, in Atlanta at least, seems to depend on the time of day.

    If a cop put handcuffs on me, I would consider myself under arrest. Perhaps you wouldn't. I don't know. Cops can't be sued personally for what they do but the government can be.

    And in cases of false arrest, they often are.

    No, you are incorrect.

    They can place handcuffs on anyone for safety reasons, whether to the individual or others, while they investigate the current situation without placing someone under arrest.

    I believe this to be true. I hear/see this sometimes on the live cop programs.

    OK. But if they put cuffs on me I will consider myself under arrest regardless.

    And if they passed by a Dairy Queen they should have gotten him an ice cream cone.

    Imagine if all the people in jail or shot dead by the police had obeyed the law to start with.

    I just discovered that my wife and my wife's family were very racist. They picked cotton, but they only picked white cotton.

    It will be interesting to see how long these cities go without the police. Some morons have to learn the hard way.

    You know they'll blame the police for the ensuing bedlam.

    I do not have what it takes to be a big city police officer. I would tell my family that I am going to get a job working security at some bank or at Costco. I'm not sure throwing boxes at Amazon wouldn't be better.
