Some cops are control freaks who become like wild animals if a citizen even appears to be resisting them.
Wow -- I have many retired LEO in my circle of friends, and it's just as you say. Fortunately, the one I'm thinking of who you describe so very well above, is retired and only pulls that crap during arguments with friends who dare to resist his opinion. He becomes EXTREMELY pig-headed, rude, angry, and personally offended over general/standard disagreements. I have often thought to myself as I've observed this habit, "And this guy was a cop? Ughhh."
Bad cops transcend politics. I love my friend and he is a conservative, but if he was still a cop, my eyes would be wide open to the danger he posed to citizens, especially shady but harmless types, who dared to contradict him. Bad cops do bad exponentially, much worse and to a greater degree than non-cop criminals. Bad cops are WORSE than bad criminals.
Agreed. Excellent point. But it’s not just cops. My ex-wife was like that, too.
Totally agree.
I was answering questions about my camper parked on a city street when a deputy took umbrage.
Discretion was the path I took that night with the
two of them
One decided I was being disrespectful.
I apologized to him and stated that I meant no disrespect.
I then left that county as fast as I could
