>how about had guns pulled on you by cops?
About 3 times. In all three cases it was mistaken identity...supposedly. The most recent one involved me being pulled over while driving to a friends house. I thought I may have inadvertently ran a stop sign until the officer told me to shut my car off. Then he instructed me to open the car using the outside handle. After I exited the vehicle he yelled for me to get on my knees and put my hands behind my head. He then cuffed me while his partner slowly crept up with his gun drawn on me. It wasn't until after I was cuffed that the officer told me why I was being detained; they said I was driving a stolen car. Not sure how they came to that assessment.

I never act belligerent when accosted or detained by cops because I want to be on my merry way as soon as possible. With that being said, I do not begrudge anyone who does not comply with cops when being harassed. I'm just an extremely non-confrontational dude. I know the sooner they find out I'm not who they're looking for, the sooner I get to go home, without racking up legitimate charges (resisting arrest, etc.)
