There are @$$holes in every profession.
True, but only cops get to carry guns, shoot people, arrest them, etc. All the more reason to have little tolerance for this kind of crap.
An authoritarian prick.
Amen.
My exact thought.
But some professions attract them like flies to $hit.
With guns and arrest powers?
I see assholes every day, but most them don’t have the power to screw my life over.
Having worn a uniform and having had to deal with a$$holes of all kinds, even those I worked with and for, I can't agree with you more. Before I read the whole article, I was leaning in support of the cop, but after I read that he had ordered the wife and aunt back into the car, along with his abusive comments, I realized this cop is a complete A-hole. Granted, Motes rolled through a redlight, but it's not as if he hadn't made appropriate signals to alert others of a problem, or use precaution before proceeding to park in front of the hospital. Hopefully this pissant cop will have learned a valuable lesson of checking out the facts before going off half-cocked.
Most of them end up as LEOs.
There are @$$holes in every profession.
Seems to be more than a fair share within LEO occupation.
Even though its a crap job having to often deal with crap people, it seems many go into it to have even a “little” power over all the rest of us.
