Don't Talk to Police..

Not really. Cops are people too, just like soldiers. I don’t walk around saying “HOOAH” and wondering if I’ll get a chance to shoot some godless terrorists, because that is just some fabricated stereotype.

You are stereotyping, and that is wrong.

Outstanding. Be sure and pass along my name to him or her. Always glad to help a fellow Southerner. I’ve got a few friends here in the area who don’t do Gao (or even bagua) but occasionally use our mats and facility when they have people from their styles/orgs visiting them in the area.

Chances are I can probably get them in touch with someone here in the area who likes to play however they do if they are looking to roll, push or test themselves.

Drake,
If I encounter a soldier on a military base in CONUS who works a desk job then yes that would be a stereotype.

But if I encounter a guy deployed to the sandbox in full gear and flak, carrying his weapon I’d be well-advised not to wear a balaclava and run near him screaming “alluha akbar!” right?

Same deal with the cops.

Actually, you’d be fine. ROE has changed dramatically over the last few years.
