I was baptized Catholic and raised such, from kindergarten through college. And I don't give a flying...trapeze...what Mel Gibson thinks, nor do any of the Catholics I know. Please don't tar everyone with a stereotype!

Having made DUI stops and arrests in the Army, in the Military Police, I can assure you that drunks can spew the foulest language you can imagine. I've been called an MF and worse, assaulted, and deliberately puked on. Every MP I knew treated it as part of the job -- and put the offender in the drunk tank. After one such arrest I and others were charged with police brutality -- by the offender's friend, the offender saw a videotape of himself and said that he was amazed we didn't beat him silly instead of handcuffing him.

I don't suggest you call a cop names or try to fight, though -- you could get someone who WILL want to get in "a little stick time."
