*smooch*
I have officially entered that stage where seeing a cop makes me nervous.
Even if I’m not doing even one remotely damn thing wrong.
This is fupped uck.
My late father in law was one of the worst cops in the state back in his day. His daily routine as a Penal Farm Warden was to have the guards bring in prisoners for him to beat on. It's not rumor he lived on the premises with his daughter who is now my wife. She saw him do it. He was the most paranoid and sadistic man I ever met in my life. His actions likely triggered an event few in this area have forgotten if they are old enough to remember.
Many cops out there are still devoted to the duty and are doing it right. The issues many times start at the top from an undisciplined power happy leader wanting to turn his department into a paramilitary response team.
A few years back I had some extensive interaction with some deputies in my county as a foster parent. They were professional and disciplined. They used common sense and weren't out to get anyone just for kicks.
I also knew a Chief of police in a venue I won't mention. He owned a mom and pop store in a rural area. Behind the counter was a 12 gauge pump. Friendliest man you'd ever want to meet. He's retired.
