(Though I do believe this is in the slow process of changing). What did you do, you ask? You completely ignored and glossed over the risk that the general public faces from police officrers, a risk that can no longer be plausibly denied due to numerous videos since Ferguson highlighting beyond a shadow of a doubt numerous illegal actions perpetrated by police officers. Want to be taken seriously on this topic? (up to you, as always) You need to factor in that the public is more and more aware of the risks involved in any encounter with police officers, no matter how trivial or slight.
By completely ignoring this unpleasant fact, you lose credibility. You wouldn't have to cave in to this fact - a mere mention that video proves that this street goes two ways would sufffice. Completely up to you, I get that. Rob
