When I was arrested for possession I spent the entirety of the time trying to have an actual discussion with the officer.

In the end, it came down to this:

Her: "So, you must be really philosophical."
Me: "Oh, yes, I feel that there is no reality but that of philosophy."
Her: "Wow... We're different. I see everything in black and white. I'm not that smart, if I were I sure wouldn't be working here."


I didn't say it, but this signaled to me a serious problem in US law enforcement. Why did this cop feel like her job shouldn't require philosophical thought, or thought in general?
