Reply #79: The ones I've dealth with myself have been decent [View All]

but the officer on the scene when my 17 year old daughter had an accident was an obnoxious, rude asshole. She was cut and bleeding (albeit minor), very shaken, and both she and her friend were bruised. The other driver, of whom the cop was being very solicitous, was driving at nearly twice the posted limit. My daughter's car had the side door smashed in, inches from where her friend was sitting. The car was pushed clear up over the curb and onto the parking.

Did this asshole EVEN ask if my daughter and her friend were all right? NO! Yes, it ticked me off that this cop was oh-so-caring about this jerk driver, who not only endangered my daughter and her friend with his reckless driving, but also his own kid (like 8) who was in the front seat.

Well, after that display, how can I not tell my kids that some cops are thugs with badges, and while you should be cooperative as you can, you'd better keep in mind that you could be dealing with a real asshole, who won't give a damn even if you're cut and possibly injured.

Just recounting this has made my blood pressure go way up. No, not all cops are ok!
