Why are were so afraid of the cops?

6. In my opinion it's because they are afraid of us.

I'm 70 and cantankerous to say the least. A few years ago I was stopped by a female officer doing 17 in a 15mph school zone. The female officer that came to my car window walked the last 10 feet or so with her hand on her gun. I rolled down the window and said something to the effect of "Are you fucking kidding me with the hand on your gun?" She then asked for my license and registration and when I reached into the glove box for the registration card she actually drew her weapon part way out of the holster. I stopped what I was doing and asked her what she wanted me to do - pull out the registration or do nothing. Eventually she calmed down a bit, wrote my ticket and left. I'm white and was driving a new Mercedes - go figure.
