Sorry to be such a cynic. I'm from Chicago where the police are here to preserve disorder.

Anyway, no I've never talked back to a regular cop but I've yelled at an overbearing park district 'cop' and I've had words with some of our campus public safety officers (most of the older ones are retired cops)
