I state the obvious when I say something is very wrong with many of today’s cops.
Back in the 1970s I was a young man, and for awhile I looked like a hippie. I wasn’t one. But I had the look. And every cop I ran across treated me cordially. Even the cops who gave me traffic tickets were nice enough. I don’t have a single complaint from that era.
Now I’m an old guy, and I will avoid even saying “good afternoon” to a cop. Because experience has taught me that I will probably either be ignored or get a rude response.
That’s not always the case. But it is the norm. Sure, policing is more difficult today. But a cop has got to be able to pivot. Be pleasant, keep it low-key…until the situation warrants otherwise. But most cops today seem unable to do that. They always act as if they are an occupying force in an enemy country.
(Sorry for the rant.)
}{€££$ Bells I was just about to get up and make some popcorn 🍿 and settling down for the next dozen paragraphs.☹️
But I guess I'll just have to go back to watching the reruns of M*A*S*H...
