Cops are people.
I’ve said this before on FR and I’ll say it again.
Example: Since I traded in my Honda Civic (With a spoiler, modifications, flashy accessories (Yes, I like that sorta thing)) for my Suburban I stopped getting pulled over daily. My suburban isn’t inspected. No sticker. Cops wave.
I rode a Harley and a Ninja. On the Ninja, I would get pulled over. On the harley ? They wave as I speed by.
It’s not the cop. It’s not the person. It’s the SOP. There are a set of rules that make them evil the moment they check into work. Some of the older guys realise that but the rookies jump right in.
There is an SOP that makes the citizen their enemy. And they behave that way almost all of the time.

>>Cops are people.
People who can take lethal action under color of authority. They must be held to very high standards, just as I was when I was a 20 year old nuclear propulsion plant operator in the Navy. I once had to write an essay on Zero Defects to keep from getting written up for accidentally opening the wrong valve becuase with great power comes great responsibility. Cops get the ultimate power so they have to be held to ultimate standards. If they can’t handle that, they need to find safer work.
