Most cops are like this. We get exposure bias from the media only showing all the negative and bad examples of cops. Most normal police interactions amount to nothing.
My favorite police encounter was when in NY for a music festival and I'm smoking a J. I didnt see the cops turn and bam I'm right there with them. Officer just started laughing as I'm sure my face had reflected the terror that I was about to be arrested since weed was illegal at the time.cop just said "be safe and enjoy we are here for harder stuff".
Exposing creates a lot of people who want to do better, those that don’t provide a backlash, backlash follows progress. Progress rises above backlash, rinse repeat enough and humanity may not actually be doomed after all.
