Look it up. You will see almost every police deparment rules & regualtions of procedure prohibit the use of offensive language while on duty. You will also see prohibitions regarding the display of a firearm & even lifting a fraction of an inch out of the holster is display. It's not so much the pistol thing, that i get, just thought she was a little overboard with it because she was so hostile & vulgar. A person that unstable shouldnt even have a gun.

Same town, several months ago, car broke down. two cops showed up & they helped me push it off the road.. I meet officers in this town all the time, they are nice people.. it's a small hick town.. this one tonight was not the norm for this place...
