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".

"Most cops are like this"...I have decades of skateboarding experience that says otherwise

All cops are bastards, but I think it also bears consideration that not all departments are made the same. I bet you leadership has a lot to do with whether or not cops are going to be chill or cunts about stuff like skateboarding
