I know this thread has been pretty cold for a week now and
should be left well enough alone, but a couple of days ago
I had my first meeting with a policeman that kind of bothered
me. Very arrogant, treated everyone in my place of business
like we were dirt beneath his feet, felt like telling him to leave
but he did spend a small chunk of money. He wasnt in uniform
and didnt present his badge, but made it known that he had
been in law enforcement for a number of years. After he left
another customer told us that he had encountered this individual in the past and he was pretty mean when he wanted
to be. Im not badmouthing the PD, but this guy just gave me
a overall bad feeling, and Ive dealt with quite a few police in
the past few years and never had a problem, most have been
friendly, talkative, etc. Id hate to get pulled over by this guy
when he's in a bad mood. I have always respected LEOs and
this hasnt changed my views at all, but I guess I just dont get
out of the house enough to encounter cops like this guy.
It very much reminded me of some of the NCOs I new in the
Army who once they made E-5, that thought they were gods and could
say and do whatever they wanted to and get away it. These were
guys that I stayed away from because they were just trouble.
