Same here jewel! My husband just had to deal with a buttheaded Phoenix police this morning. He accused him of speeding and refused to show my husband the reading on the radar gun. Here, you can't even ask for directions from a Phoenix police without rudeness.

Michael Phelps deserved his victory yell, and I don't find him arrogant at all. I think he's been a great athlete, and a good role model for kids. I admire his attitude at the Athens olympics in being a team player. If you want to talk about arrogance, it would be Gary Hall Jr in his "Captain Defiance" suit at the past olympics. Like in the other posts, many other athletes yell all the time. I'm a taiko player and Japanese living in the US, you should come and see how noisy we all get with all our yelling. Will you find us arrogant as well?

Tsk! I've seen worse cops. Japanese police may not always been sharp, but at least they can handle themselves better than some cops here in the US. Even in the Philippines where you can easily bribe them, and they have beer guts that make it difficult for them to go after troublemakers.
