The very job itself requires people who are not afraid of confrontation and a lot of those types get off on wielding power over others. Ideally, you'd like to be able to fire them, but then you run your department short on manpower.
The thing people need to realize is that you aren't winning an argument with a cop. If they want to ticket or arrest you badly enough, they're going to ticket or arrest you. The more you argue, the more they're going to want to get you for something. If you did something wrong and just admit what you did, they're way more likely to show leniency. If you didn't, fight it in court, not with the officer.
So true and I need to bump your post that got buried.
Do not resist even if you are right. It just doesn't help anyone. But if you are compliant and the cop is wrong you are in the right
and can win. The thing is they don't want to shoot people or hurt people for the most part, but there is always a bad seed that
needs to be rooted out. Too bad this scumbag wasn't rooted out sooner.
But that doesn't give these rioters the right to do what they are doing to the innocents. There are a lot of innocent people and
cops that are being attacked wrongfully, disgusting.
