Timely topic. A good friend of mine is a police officer, I was at dunken donuts this morning getting a cup of coffee I was just about to leave when he pulled up behind my truck and we ended up Bsing for about 20 minutes.
I laughed after I typed that too, in his defence, he was not going there (gym rat) he was driving by and saw my truck. It was my out of shape ass buying the coffee but no donuts so I can drink beer. :)
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! -Hunter S. Thompson
My dad was a cop and one of the coolest guys Ive ever had the pleasure to know,... I know lots of cops and they are just people. Just like there are assholes on this board there are assholes in uniform... Its just numbers
Although I think that cops don't entirely deserve their reputation, I do think there is something about the position of authority that attracts assholes to that line of work, so the number of assholes in the police force might be a little higher than the average.
That said I've never had a bad experience with a cop, so I can't really bash them. The few that I've met seemed like nice guys. And the media really doesn't help since they only report on what they do wrong.
I have met my share of assholes too. To be honest they are a minority. They just stick out more. I can more cool.cop stories than asshole cop stories.
The ironic part is most of my encounters are a result of BREAKING THE LAW!! Traffic laws to be exact. ;)

In the end that's what it all comes down to. People bitch about speeding tickets and shit but that's their job, and when some real shit is going down and 911 shows up in 2 minutes it's all worth it. They risk their lives and do a pretty good job.
Got a State Trooper around here that I have encountered a few times in the Miata.
First time stopped me for no front plate and no inspection sticker. Wrote me a ticket for the inspection sticker, and let the plate slide.
A month later, I still had no sticker or front plate. I explained that there was no way I was going to get the thing to pass VA inspection, and I was in the market for a newer DD. He let me go. Cool cop in my book, could have written me up again and I wouldn't have blamed him.
Needless to say, the Miata is now parked. I'm trying to sell it, but not very hard. I like it too much.
Also got stopped in Manassas with a friend, my wife, and the little one in the back seat sleeping. The officer shined his flashlight right in my babies eyes. He informed me that a headlight was out, and was very apologetic. I think he was concerned for the possible wrath from the Mother of a woken baby.

a side from getting harassed by a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles county sheriff my experiences haven't been bad.
It always seems the cops/sheriffs/troopers in the rural areas are the worst.

Ive had tons of bad experiences with cops as a young person. And the funny thing is.. Everyone Ive had I was breaking the law or generally being a dick. Since I wised up Ive not had one bad experience with a cop in 30 years
