^ Yeah...but it's amazing how many "juveniles" there appear to be on this board. Hey - you guys who don't like cops and think they get away with everything should try doing a "ride-along" with a patrol officer sometime, particularly at night. That way you can get a more accurate perspective for what their job is like and maybe even engage in conversation about your experiences and find out why you were treated that way. They may have been directed to aggressively patrol certain areas at certain times or any number of reasons.

Or, you could try spending 10 years as a reserve officer like I did. See if you can make it through the academy (nights and weekends) and then work a few shifts a month. Might open your eyes (and mind) to a whole new perspective.
