Yea, but we still don't know why exactly he was there in the first place. It's possible that they had already been told to turn the music down or something...MonsterD;4551433 said:Here ya go whole thing

The30YardSlant;4552297 said:This is a complete distortion of reality. The truth is that there is a large segment of society who, for many different reasons, absolutely loathes law enforcement. They take the bad stories and run with them, completely ignoring the thousands of police officers who have saved lives and given their own in the protection of others. Many of the people who hate the police are those who enjoy pushing the line as far as they can and then crying foul when they finally get a police officer to bite on their troll.
Yes, there are bad police officers. Yes, some get into it for the power trip. But to say that 95% of cops are "like this" is inaccurate and disrespectful.

Additionally, it's a known personality trait for cops. Most of them are inherently bitter.
How many people are genuinely cops because they truly want to protect and serve the public?
I'd say most cops couldn't find a better paying job.. hence why they're a cop. Of course, there are exceptions. And maybe it's more like %80.... That's not the issue with me. My issue is the majority of the police are under-qualified and not suited to be police. Being a police officer is sort of what you do when all other things in life have failed you. Most of the time it means you didn't have any other options, which is why most cops are so bitter.

It's not exactly some high paying job.
They get little respect from a portion of the population.
Obviously there are cops who don't do it because of a desire to help. But you'll find that in any career. You think podiatrists have some overwhelming love for feet?
