Half of my family are in law enforcement...2 of the handful of people that are my close friends are cops...
And I say fuck 'em. Everytime I have been pulled over or had any contact with a cop they are rude to me. They act like their shit doesn't stink and they let you know in no uncertain terms that they can treat you like a child and if you don't like it and say ANYTHING to them about it they will fuck you up.
You guys out there with family in law enforcement know what I'm talking about. My brother, my cousins, hell...even my mom have all told me that they LIVE for confrontation. They look forward to it, and if a day goes by that a cop doesn't get to legally fuck somebody up, it's a bad day for them. And when I say "fuck somebody up" I don't mean beat them...I just mean fuck them in any way that is possible. From a traffic ticket to just scaring the shit out of people.
It's understandable I guess. That cop in the picture is pulling a fucking loaded gun on a person because that person didn't "obey" him. I guess it's justified because that person would have been in danger driving to his flooded home. And he's not in danger by having a high strung cop pulling a loaded weapon on him?
I don't think that's what our founding fathers EVER had in mind in this country. And if it's okay for a cop to put a loaded gun in somebodies face because a car is a "weapon". Then tell me what would happen if one of us tried that same shit? We "order" somebody to not go to their home in a flood and then when that person tries to drive past us...we put a loaded gun in their face, bust their window out, drag 'em out, probably hurt them pretty badly and then put handcuffs on them.
You or me did that shit, we would be in prison for life. Yet a cop does it and it's all good?
Yeah, I know the stress they are under and it's a tough job. But my experience over the years and the stories from family and friends who are cops says: That cop relished doing that to that person, and later on drank beers with other cops and high-fived about it.
I think it sucks. We give them too much power.
Edit: I just noticed the military guy standing there watching sort of in disbelief.
