Try to remember this when dealing with a police officer. He/she has no idea who your are if there is a situation where they have to intervene. They don't know if they are dealing with a law abiding citizen, an emotionally disturbed person or a career criminal with an ax to grind. That initial encounter is a great unknown for them. Police officers have been shot and killed while conducting a simple traffic stop, which is one of the most dangerous things the police do. They have been killed and maimed while going to a domestic dispute. I try to give any officer the benefit of doubt. On the flip side any veteran officer should know within a minute on how that initial encounter is going to go based on how you act and speak to them. am I biased, yes and I will tell you why.
I witnessed 9-11 up close and personal. I will tell you this,while thousands were running from those buildings that morning,the firemen, police and other first responders were running towards them and held their posts when people were trying to get out,body's were falling from windows and the towers eventually came down. Yeah I give any police officer the benefit of doubt until proven otherwise they earned that from me.
