[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1791040, member: 14668"] We pay salaries to the police so that they can catch bad guys and put them in jail. Any time they spend arguing with me or dealing with me being rude and obnoxious is time (and my tax dollars) that is being wasted. It is time that they could spend chasing actual bad guys instead. Police officers are also trained to be assertive in order to establish verbal control and domination of a situation so that they can gain compliance and [I]avoid[/I] taking it to the next level i.e. physical force. This often comes across as being very rude and intimidating. Deal with it. They don't always have the luxury of being able to be nice and sensitive to everybody they meet, and they aren't there to make you happy. They are also human beings and like any human being they are susceptible to the effects of adrenaline and fear and there is no amount of training that can fully eliminate that. As civilians, you and I have the luxury of being able to run [I]away[/I] from gunfire; they have to run [I]towards[/I] it. [/QUOTE]
