I don’t advocate for home invasion by the policy, unless there’s a dire security situation. I didn’t seek to legitimize that type of activity.
As for officers talking civilly to you, I agree with you.
Are you a large enough person where they may feel they need to keep it very formal rather than let down their guard?
I try to treat people decently. I don’t really care about skin color, but I can pick up on attitude from a mile away.
I’m not an officer so don’t take this as an explanation of what I do as an officer.
Just trying to understand the mindset.
I believe that officers are taught to keep all situations under control by taking a position of authority. If you do look like a possible threat based on your size, that may be it in part.
I don’t want to see you or anyone else disrepsected as a normal course of action.
