“The problem is, sometimes they are interested in interacting with *you*, and there is not much you can do about it.”

Not this time, Charlie Brown, not this time. And heaven help you if someday you need the help of a cop or they get your *ss out of the wringer. I personally would leave your *ss in the wringer, just for chuckles and to make a meaningless point.

I, however, will have no difficulty in helping a police officer when they need it.

I suspect that you are not, and never have been, a peace officer.

One thing that people are missing, or not seeing here, is how the police actually look at this event. Get back to the locker room after the shift, and this is not viewed as an imposition, or a waste or resources, or of a citizen not acting properly.

It is viewed as a welcome relief to hours of boredom that strains the soul.

Many have comment on police work as 99.9% boredom punctuated by .1 percent sheer terror. This type of event is neither, and is welcome relief to the boredom. It will be talked about by the police involved for years, as an amusing anecdote.
