This "conclusion" is where this "supercop" and I part company.
First of all, NO people in all sorts of jobs should ever be expected to tolerate "nasty names and a little argument," In fact, most local "public employees" are very good at not tolerating a "smidgen" of that, rightly so.
Secondly, with the authority that cops are assigned, there is an obligation, too, not to overreach.
As the article at the link asserts, how can you comply with an aggressive "ask no questions" cop? There is nothing disrespectful or aggressive with, for example, "what did I do" or "why have you stopped me?"
Personally, I have had nothing but good experience the few times I have been stopped by an LEO, even when things were marginal, so I have no knee-jerk reaction to the process. Being polite and non-combative certainly helps.
As for searching my car, I am totally unworried about it but, on principle, I would ask for a warrant.

A cop is usually not pulling over your average public employee.

I agree with you there, but the officers are verbally abused sometimes. But if they can’t control themselves to not retaliate with physical violence, then maybe they should quit.
