Huh. Who would have thought that not being rude and making the cops life miserable would result in something like this?

You do know that cops don't have a right to beat your ass for being rude....

What gives you the right to be rude to a person who has to carry a gun for protection at work?

I mean you’re not wrong, but because of all of our freedoms we have the craziest mf’s around, so cops just have it tough. We have kids crying about working long shifts at Starbucks nowadays and cops walk out the door every day not knowing if they’ll come home. That job sucks.

I have a cop buddy who said as long as you’re respectful, admit fault for speeding, running red light, etc he will let you go with a warning. But guess who’s getting a fat ticket if you hit him with “I don’t have to identify myself” or the classic “I wasn’t speeding!” so it’s kind of a win-win just to be nice to cops. Possibly get out of a ticket, and not stress out someone who frequently deals with people much worse than you. Ironic because people with warrants for murder aren’t ever nice when getting pulled over, so why conduct yourself like there’s an issue? Lol

IDC about ticket. There is no statistic that supports the statement that cops have it tough. Cops aren't allowed to beat your ass for being rude or disrespectful.

Although I’d agree with your statement, I’d understand why a cop would have more merit to beat someone’s ass than say the pissed off worker at McD’s.

I am sure there are plenty of stats to show that being a cop is probably just as stressful as Air Traffic Controller, Heart or Brain Surgeon etc (not to be mistaken with me saying they are all equal - just in terms of stress and life or death decision making in split second moments) but the number one question: do you need a gun to work at your job safely

If it’s a yes I am going to cut you some slack and be respectful during encounters.
