1. Usually cops are right, they work in a profession where they have more knowledge of the law than most of us, no one ever tells the story when i cop was right about a law only when they make mistakes
2. Cops can give you tickets/take you into the station, but they cannot hold you without a reason, and they cannot punish you without a reason, if they aren't right you go to court and prove them wrong in front of a judge/jury if you cannot then you are punished
3. How do their actions not merit respect, to protect a populace that mostly despies what they do for petty reasons, to put their life in danger for the betterment of society. If nothing else they are doing their part to be a positive influence on things and not a negative
4. duh, the gun/badge/backup/authority gives them the ability to,if the didn't have that they would have to abide laws like everyone else, now they have more rules than the average citizen to follow because of that
5. you want civil liberties to live free then complain about cops not being able to prevent crime, if we didn't put so many restrictions on cops then they would be able to prevent crime, but remember the drunk driver has rights and they can't be violated, example, cops can't sit outside of bars and wait on people to get in cars and catch them for driving drunk because that is entrapment
6. don't even know how to reply, and again if you are breaking the law, i don't see how you can complain about a cop not being respectful, you are the one doing something wrong
7. never heard of that before, guess you will have to give an example of that cause the only time i have ever seen someone cuffed was because of something
8. okay you are under 21, at a party (assuming alcohol was involved) as you are walking away from a party, which probably means you were told to stop and didn't as you were trying to get away from being caught for underage, but as this is an asumption you will have to tell more about the situation before much more can be said
cops have to put up with the lowest of society on a daily basis and people want them to be nice to them when they get pulled over for breaking a traffic law/minor infraction, just because you are a public servant does not mean you have to be nice to people, attention: cops do not have to be nice to you, all they have to do is follow the guidelines our politicians put forth for them. Seems like another case of someone grouping the good in with the very few bad in this case. The best way to not have a bad experience with a cop is to do what they say with respect towards them, i do that and have had very minimal bad experiences with cops. its easy to have good relations with cops, don't break the law, and if they do make a mistake don't be disrespectful to them about it, it is really that simple
