+1 +1 +1 +1 - ad infinitum!
It's easy to get your knickers in a knot about police "brutality" or maybe even an "attitude" from a police officer but you need to consider this. Every time an officer has to approach a citizen today, they might face a nutcase bent on doing God knows what. Not only that, I'd be willing to bet that at least half the people an officer has to stop or confront will give them some form of crap, When I was growing up, police were shown respect but that's not so true today. My grandfather was a police officer almost all his life albeit in a time when they received due respect. That's respect they still deserve today even when one of them has had enough and gets an "attitude".
