I've gone on rides with my brother-in-law, a cop in Oregon. You wouldn't believe the pricks he has to deal with, the crap that goes with that thankless job. Unbelievable how anyone can still act professional after years of working as cop.
and cops around country on edge now due to cops that got murdered during traffic stop in Orange County last week, as weasel mentions. You've probably forgotten that, but believe me, every cop pulling over someone this week hasn't. Particularily when big guy leaps out after you finally stop them!
Lotta cops are dicks, but most aren't. My bro-in-law finally made detective last year and thus has saner job that will take much longer to get burned out at.
but when he pulled over a guy in obvious hurry, let alone when stops in hospital lot, he asks them if they are in a hurry for something. Most cops do this, because they understand and have some compassion and experiece.
This young cop in Plano is clearly missing some of those attributes.
Cop in Plano might have reason to believe violators he pulled over had made-up "tales of woe".
But the nurses at the hospital informed the cop that dudes story was true. Plus, an older cop showed up on scene and counselled young cop to ease up--which he didn't after these two additonal bits of info.
That is main reason he is a prick! After hospital staff informed him of truth, being a prick is the only explanation left.
My brother-in-law thinks so, and so do most good cops out there.
and race comes into this, especially in a place like Plano, because, well, it belongs. Folks who don't grasp that need a rant from bryanz right now!
