Now my father is a cop, so when people start this generalization of police being stupid kind of irritates me.
I can understand there are instances, and I am in no way trying to dismiss your stories, but these seem to be isolated incidents with meatheads out on patrol. I'm also not trying to say that you think ALL cops are like this either.
Its just that the police in my area go around to schools and teach about harrassment and tolerance, and are pretty good at watching out for kids.
Now, I realize I'm kinda on my soapbox right now, but its just one of those things that get to me.
