As an entirely law-abiding, tax-paying, decent, fair, and pro-police person who just endured a bad experience with a confrontational, irrational, and steroid-juiced LEO thug...I am now starting to see things from an entirely new perspective.

I recently telephoned police to help with a simple traffic accident I witnessed as a BYSTANDER and for them to send help. The officers KNEW in advance the person (me) who called-in the request for assistance was wearing khaki shorts, hiking boots, red socks, and a bright red wool sweater...since I heard their dispatch radioing that very same thing to the officers while I was still on the phone.

I was standing outside my vehicle as they approached. I began to walk towards the cruisers as they rolled-up and received the crazed "GET THE FU*K BACK INTO YOUR VEHICLE, NOW!" command as they exited. This was at a simple fender-bender where I had just stopped as a motorist because I was an impartial witness. The two other drivers were totally cool and were exchanging information. Nobody was fighting or even raising their voices.

Had I accidentally stumbled, reached for my phone, suffered a muscle spasm, or anything else unexpected...that 'roid-raging maniac with the vein bulging out of his forehead would have drawn his service weapon and shot me. It was a surreal and life-changing experience. I will never, ever willingly help another police officer again in my life.
