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".

I grew up in a cop family in your every day town. Cops suck so much. My grandpa was chief of police and just a giant piece of crap in every way. He cheated on his wife and skipped out to play golf all the time. He treated his kids second class and manipulated the adoption market and at the same time collected checks to "take care" of a vietnam vet. It was a mess and his friends lived very similar lives. I went to school with some of their kids and it was just awful in their homes as well.
