Need to take a step back and check themselves. If that is the way they begin each evolution. I realize the shitty and very dangerous job it is being in LE but no one is forcing them to get up everyday and go be a police officer, they do it voluntarily.

I have been pulled over by officers that even before the first exchange of words took place the officer took a highly authoritative posture with their hand on their firearm and other officers that were firm but very professional and respectful. I understand why the two sides but the encounter is 100x better and goes a long way to improving the image of LE with the officers that are professional as opposed to the to the officers that are not.
