Maybe, but as a prior LEO I never felt threatened by a 70+ year old person unless they had a weapon in hand. I would find it very embarrassing and emasculating that I could not handle that type of subject as a viral young man.

Cops have bad days too. Also, this might not have been the FIRST time this geezer had words with the cop.

I lived in Mexico for two years and Saudi Arabia for five. OUR U.S. cops are SO much better, smarter, more honest, more educated, more decent and more reliable that 99% of ALL the cops in second (Commmie) and third world countries.

We Americans just DON'T know how LOW standards are for police in those countries and how HIGH our standards are.

I've SUGGESTED to those U.S. cop-haters that they go LIVE in a second or third world country for a month, week or day and just SEE the differences.
They WON'T do it, of course, since it's FAR easier to just sit HERE in the U.S.A. and gripe about cops, condemning the entire force of the thin blue line.

Tasering anyone over an inspection sticker isn’t one bad day. It’s one bad cop. The ex-cop sitting next to me agrees.

What does the term "cop-hater" have to do with legitimate concern over a particular incident?

I grew up up in a foreign country and dealt with that country’s police force many times growing up as a “foreigner” there.

I will say that there are LEO’s and departments in this country fast approaching that nation’s level of “professionalism”.

Cops on duty don’t get to have “bad days” and abuse citizens because.

If my contrarian statement makes me a “hater”, so be it.

But the truth is the truth and blanket statements on both sides of these debates/discussions, whether they be for or against cops, don’t do anyone any good.
