Here are some seemingly contradictory things:
1) I don’t love cops in general; their personality types and mine don’t jive.
2) They are necessary and are given power to do their job.
3) Cops interact with crazy people all day long.
4) I would NEVER want their job.
5) If I’m being pulled over or detained, however upset I am, I don’t have a fight/argument with them in the street. I humble myself and try to make the situation as small as possible. I give them room to cut me slack but also feel they won the moment or made their point.
Some people have zero compassion for what cops do and only see the harsh manner they typically have. Again, they deal with crazy people, all day long.
If you can’t humble yourself in that moment your emotions are in charge. The cop has to use that information when assessing a situation.
