I actually would have considered buying that thing for $3K. No idea what I would do with it but how much fun would cruising in that thing be?

How should I feel about it...

look, I have a bias of course, on this in particular, i've seen how cops are willing to act in the name of "public safety", literally jumping to conclusions in it's name, they put me in danger without any concern, 6 of them with guns pointed at me, then they throw me on the ground, cuffs nice and tight, with a knee on my neck, and for what?
being accused of having a gun in my car. this was true, a couple cap guns for a school project and I was on my way to filming the project...I don't know who called the cops or why...

I got stopped right in public, so of course everyone saw me getting arrested, but what bothers me most about the entire incident was that this was literally a week after I got out of the hospital for a surgery.
the pain I felt that day I can never forget. and I tried to reason with the cops that I wasn't a threat while having 6 guns pointed at me, that I just got out of surgery, they told me to get out of the car and lay on the ground with my hands on my head, I complied, the force they used was to make me feel pain intentionally. tell me now,
are cops truly ment to help us? or scare us, intimidate us with shiny toys and the threat of jailtime.
one cop said "I was this close to shooting you", FOR WHAT? why would one even say something like that?

I know you will read this with a nice big smile that I got hurt and still feel such ambivalence to them when they are here to protect and serve, sure, there are good cops, I knew some, but what happens is they lose their personality much like a mob does, the second they get their guns and cars, and feel the power of it all.
again, not all cops go into the mob, but the vast majority get caught up in it, and it's actually apart of the job.
