Thats the problem with the latest generation of cops, so many seem to want to treat everyone as a victim or a criminal. They just don't know how to talk to people anymore. I know plenty of cops, old and young, I love cops and understand you have some bad apples that ruin it for them all.More and more bad apples seem to be getting through. Case in point, when I lived back in Florida I was about to pull into my driveway when out of the blue a police car comes zipping around the corner onto my street and pulls in front of me. The officer proceeds to ask me to get out of the car and go on a screaming fit for about the next 4 or 5 mins about how difficult his job is because of people like me, accusing me of speeding(Was not speeding where he accused me of speeding, radar detector never went off so obviously he was not fast enough on the draw with it) etc etc. Finally he said I was "lucky" to get a verbal warning and drove off. At all times I followed his instructions to the letter, did not do anything suspicious (Reaching for things, hands in the pocket etc) and went out of my way to act as non aggressive as possible. This officers only speed appeared to be "Aggressive jagoff". I considered filing some kind of complaint but figured it was probably not a good idea.
This one officer gave me a very low opinion of the Alachua County Fl. Sheriffs Office. It was not until I was pulled over about 2 years later( I will admit, this time I was speeding) by an unmarked ACSO squad car that that opinion was restored. The female officer spoke to me like a human being and that made all the difference. She was respectful, did not raise her voice and explained everything to me in detail and left on a good note.
