I taught my kids to respect police and then got burned....twice. I learned my lesson.
SO did they, I have met a few inner city cops that were ok. There are quite a few cool cops in Vancouver BC
But I have NEVER met a small town cop that was not an absolute asshole.

I have seen a cop taser a kid for not getting off his bike fast enough.
Lets see other examples...there are two asshole cops that live in small Washington town They are so bad the town wrote letters to the gov. and he came to a town meeting to talk about them. They put guns to kids heads for looking at them wrong.

They sat all night listening to private phone conversations at the phone company. I know this because my friend that works for the phone company warned me..They were listening to the teens so they knew when there was a party to bust or where the weed was.
They wrote 211 traffic tickets in one weekend in a town of less than 1000 people.
and they did it because people complained about their brutal behavior...

In a town with 12 teens 11 have been arrested for having their music too loud or, smelling like weed. ....these were good kids not troubled youth. Most the cases were thrown out of court but not without considerable cost to the parents.

It got so bad that hearing someone say "someone needs to kill those sobs" in the grocery store line became a regular occurrence.

Small town cops more often than not abuse their power.

You just have not had your cop experience yet. You will....
