The "us against them" mentality is very strong among LEOs
99 percent of cops are enforcers for the police state and nothing else.
A friend and his brother were recently traveling a remote road in NE Washington state in a Diesel pickup.
A state cop pulled them over after they had driven up a hill and the Diesel had smoked as they always do when under load. He ticketed them for “excessive smoke” and told them that they have “a bad gasket”. I guess he was trained to be a Diesel mechanic when he went to cop school.
The temp was in the 90’s and he made them sit in their truck with the engine and AC off while he sat in his car with the engine and AC on.
The citation was for $550 and he advised them it would be easier to pay it than fight it in court.
They’ll be going to court.
A$$hole!
