It irritates me more when it's a note in a perfume and people are like, "ah yes, I smell the cherry blossom." Very few cherry blossoms have a scent, ime. There's one variety on Hains Point that smells like almonds, and that's it for what I've encountered.

You missed the important detail that he’s stolen said vehicle. If you are dumb enough to fall asleep in a stolen car and then try to flee, you deserve whatever happens.

Like I said, the cops can always be less violent and improve. But I don’t have any sympathy for those who wrong others, stupid enough to get caught, then put an officers life in danger. I’m said he lost his life needlessly, but im more made at him than the cops.

Let's say you're sleeping in the driver's seat of a parked car and somebody you don't know jumps in the back seat.

Do you calmly turn and say "Oh hi, officer - I didn't see you there. How can I help?" - or would it be reasonable to freak out and hit the gas pedal trying to get out of that situation?
