lol You’re headed for cop trouble too with that attitude.
I had a cop shouting and yelling at me with a gun drawn once.... for parking my car in a remote lot so I could make out with my girlfriend before prom. I was wearing a freaking white tuxedo with a flower on my lapel.
Did I try to argue with the cop? No.
I did what he said.
He warned us against being stopped in that area, because of a rash of car thefts. And, sent us on our way.
It’s really not THAT hard.
Some people just cannot do as they’re told, not even for a minute... cause they’re eat up with attitude, like yours.
I have had three interactions with aggressive LEOs in my life. Never once did it occur to me that they were acting like a$$wipes because of my race. They were just being jerks.
I will say that if all of this new “sensitivity” leads to LEOs being more courteous and less aggressive, it isn’t all bad.
Look, I have a lot of respect for decent cops. My problem is the jerks that get into the profession and then go crazy with power, are terrified of the public, and who are sometimes too eager to want to kill people.
Search “donutwatch” on this very forum and you’ll find hundreds of accounts of idiots doing stupid things.
Heck, right now there’s a flourishing industry of “First Amendment Auditors” who are just guys with video cameras who make recording from public places. Which is perfectly legal and a protected 1st Amendment activity, and it’s also excluded as a probable cause in several states such as California (CA PC 148(G))

These auditors have reams of videos on You Tube and elsewhere that show them doing something 100% legal and then they get threatened, beat up, arrested, and etc. by badge wearing jackasses who are literally breaking the law!

These auditors go on to reap sometimes massive court settlements because the cops are absolutely wrong and they keep doing it! It’s all about their power and it has NOT ONE THING TO DO WITH THE LAW.
Now think about it: These cops are going after people who are livestreaming their video and they don’t care that they’re breaking the law.
Imagine what they do when there isn’t a camera around?
So sorry, I’m not sipping the cop-worshipping Kool Aid here.
Yes, there’s a lot of good cops and I sure wish the hell they’d start doing something about the bad ones!
