Misbehave, the key term here. Which pretty much is a roundabout way of saying make sure to obey.On the other hand, THEIR whole world is being made into an "us vs them" and much of it is not by their choosing, although I'm sure that happens in places. They are attacked constantly (physically and verbally), critiqued by EVERYONE, treated unfairly in courts and media, and badmouthed in places like this forum. This chit spreads... is it any wonder they come out to a call with a chilly attitude. The friendly cops are being beaten into the ground and retiring... soon we will only have the bad attitude cops left.
Thankfully, I've only ever been treated with respect, professionalism, and a friendly attitude by LEOs during traffic stops and by Asst DA during one misunderstanding that was settled amicably. Maybe small town vs big town experience, IDK. But I've always greeted responders with a smile, while my H.S. friend that complains about treatment greets them with attitude. Cops are human and most humans respond to people the way people respond to them. I'm still amazed how patient cops are with jerks and how well they treat them until the jerk decides to further misbehave.
