Have you EVER, in your life, had an encounter with the police that was pleasant?

Even after I got mugged and beaten, the cop acted like *I* was the problem.

Officers friendly have decided that we the public they are supposed to serve are their enemy.

This will not end well for anyone.

Maybe it’s dumb luck (so to speak) but “most” officers I have actually met have been professional and not gratuitously nasty. I have met a jerkly hard boiled character or two as well.

Yes, actually. The last cop who stopped me was almost apologetic and let me off with a warning. In fact the two times a cop who stopped me was a little too nasty, I still only got a warning. Plus, I had a friend who was a cop.

If you've had all bad encounters with cops, maybe it might be you. No excuse for cops out of line, but to propose that all leos are thugs is ridiculous.
