You got that right! Sometimes it doesn't appear to wear off.
I am grateful for law enforcement and support 'blue lives' however with one exception in my long life, every cop I've met in real life has been a jerk. Beginning at age 11 or 12 when I got lost downtown after a dental appointment and asked a cop which direction I needed to go to find a specific street so I could catch the bus back to school, he said, "get lost" or "go away". I eventually found the street 2 or 3 long blocks away.
The good one was a State Trooper who pulled me over for speeding. When I told him that I was 'going with the flow' and had been following a particular truck ever since Indiana (several hours ago), he cheerfully let me go.
I won't go into detail on other bad 'encounters'... too many dumb stories like getting a ticket for going 58 mph in a 55 zone.
I just don't understand the problem. Quota's on white guys for their budgets maybe? My sister's ex boyfriend was caught exchanging sexual favors for letting women off many years ago. Power corrupts?
For many years now one of my best friends on the internet is a cop.... funny : )
