Oh hell yeah. Why on earth would the cop who was treated like that trip over his feet to race to a job at that Starbucks? If one can find a way to remove the human element out of policing, I'd love to hear it.
Wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect more maturity and sense of duty from police officers - public employees with badges and guns - than from Starbucks employees?
If not, then why is a negative view of police inaccurate?
I have a higher opinion of the competency and service-orientation of the officers of my local department than I do of the qualities of a randomly-selected food-service employee. Perhaps that’s unjustified, but it makes me feel better about their driving around armed with guns and authority.
