Well, sorry to throw the bull shit flag on the field, but I'm inclined to consider this fiction.
If it DID happen, I agree with Kelly - you were still in charge of your fate and your actions and had the choice to either face the consequences of what you did or do something morally questionable.
As for your average cop, I have nothing but the greatest of respect for them. There are a few professions that you do not get into for the money:
- Any kind of emergency responder like paramedic or fireman
- Law Enforcement
- Teaching
- And countless others
You don't get into professions like these to make a buck, you get in to them because they are a calling - something you feel compelled to do, something that you WANT to do.
A lot of people give cops hell - right up until they need one. . .
I'm sure there are bad cops, just as there are bad people in any segment of society, but the very vast majority of cops are good and decent men and women doing their level best to keep all of us safe. Bullshit like this thread throw dirt and mud on these people that they don't deserve. It also serves to scare those of us that are timid and might actually believe this stuff and thus choose not to venture out.
Assuming that I am not doing something stupid, like prostitution or drinking and driving, I would have no hesitation what so ever in approaching and interacting with a police officer when I'm dressed. It's his job, career, and calling to keep ME safe, and until proven otherwise I am going to assume that he/she is a professional and takes as much pride in their job as I do mine.
