Cops have a tough job in the world we live in today,...and it's going to get much tougher as time passes.
They can be a pain in the butt,...no doubt about it,...but I suspect I'd soon turn into a pain in the butt too if I had their job.
In fact,...I doubt that I could do their job, period.
I'd go nuts on some [bleep] someday. I don't have a hell of a lot of patience.
As a reply to the OP, your reply is bullshit.
Cops acting like a-holes isn't something that should be tolerated by the people. Harassing someone for doing the right thing and driving safely is a big deal. When you take little situations and abuse your authority, you undermine all of you co-workers by eroding the base of respect your profession used to have with the general public.
My one "serious" interaction with the MPD changed me from pro-police to "maybe give them the benefit of the doubt" with a huge emphasis on maybe.
