Very true. I know there are a lot of police apologists on FR, but guess what, there are bad cops, just like there are bad accountants and bad lawyers and bad teachers and bad plumbers etc.

I had a close family member get pulled over for a minor traffic violation. He was 19, a university student, and had a case of unopened beer in the car on the way to a party (and don’t even bother with the self righteous indignation unless you NEVER had a drink until you were 21). They booked him for illegal possession of alcohol. When they were processing him at the station he rode the elevator with a cop who was a foot talller than him and outweighed him by 150 lbs. In the elevator the cop pushes him up against the wall, and starts saying ‘Why are you resisting! Why are you trying to take my gun!’ The family member said ‘I’m not resisting,and I don’t want your gun’. He said it looked like the cop was going to hit him when the elevator opened and there were other people suddenly watching.
