I do not boot lick any police.
I also do not have problems with the police. I would not lump them all together, though at same time in a large group encounter it is easy even with training to fall into ass kicking mode - just the same as protesters can go from protesting to full on vandalism. That shit is just human and it happens in large crowds. Do not condone it, and another reason I stay away from that sort of shit whenever possible. If you aint there odds are you aint getting a night stick upside your head.
I pay attention to cops. I answer them in very polite two word replies unless some question requires a longer answer. I still then keep it as short as possible. Unless of course I am the one who called them. At that point I do not care if they are right or wrong, if they are on a power trip or not. That shit can and will be taken care of in court. Fighting with them or being a dick and well it will not get you anywhere.
I also appreciate that they show up when I call needing them. They do not send me a bill. Not sure about others but ours have done a pretty good job of keeping the small shit that eventually leads to big shit in check.
So ya no love, no disrespect, just know what to fucking do if encountered by one.
