I thought it was worth relaying to you in its entirety, because
it’s yet another example of the needlessly adversarial attitude that
seems to be becoming the new normal among law enforcers – and
justification for the entirely rational fear of police that more and
more of us are coming to grips with (as per my latest article; see here).
It’s especially hard for people who are inclined to support
police (mostly, on the misplaced belief that they are there to “serve
and protect” as opposed to “harass and collect”) to read these stories –
and to face up to the reality of law enforcement these days. But it’s
increasingly impossible to maintain the illusion that police are
anything more than an enforcer class – to be avoided if all possible.

The major links on this page seem to be linked to a story about irritability between China and other nations over islands in the China seas areas, rather than unfriendly police.
The link to the story suggested by the article seems to be http://ericpetersautos.com/2013/11/30/officer-safety/, but may have been something other than this.
