A cut and paste of what you said....
But cops have no idea anymore how to be reasonable and how to deescalate a situation
So yeah...
To protect and serve?
MY buddy knows guys on the drug task force and they will ride around until they find a house with a rebel flag. They say without fail if theres a rebel flag someone is selling weed. Theyll go to the door and say theyve gotten calls about drug activity and if the guy will just turn it over theyll cite him and be on their way. More often than not the person will agree and turn it over. No warrant, no probable cause, nothing. Just a knock and talk. All the people have to do is close the door but they dont know any better.
Ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun. Las Vegas tough guys rough up a woman and shove her head on the hood of her car on the same weekend that the alleged shooter was at Mandalay Bay and they spent anywhere from 20-72 minutes neutralizing the shooter(s).

As Rushing drove away from the convenience store, police pulled him over. The officer said he had been driving 42 miles an hour in a 30 zone and had failed to come to a complete stop before entering the roadway.
But Riggs-Hopkins had noticed some crystals on the floorboard of the car, and when officers used a field testing kit, the white substance tested positive for methamphetamine.
Rushing said that was impossible: "I've never even smoked a cigarette," he protested.
The officer showed him the substance in question, and Rushing was aghast.
"That's glaze from a Krispy Kreme doughnut!" he explained. "I get one every other Wednesday."
But officers weren't buying it. Rushing was booked on charges of possessing methamphetamine while armed with a weapon.
As he sat in jail, he asked himself, "Lord, what am I doing here?"
