One thing I’ve noticed is the ascendency of what I call “The shaved head screamer” cop. They seem to place achieving the subjugation and complete compliance of whoever they’re dealing with as the number one goal. They quickly up the ante when their wishes aren’t instantly met. They escalate instead of de-escalate.
I worked in corrections and it’s really not hard to talk folks down when they’re pretty spun up, but it also doesn’t take much to get one to go out of control if you decide that instant dominance is the only possible means of approach.
There are a few moron cops on my department too. I despise them. I know who they are and I keep as far away from them as I can. Many of them have been suspended repeatedly, some have been fired. Some have gone to jail.
