There are some LEOs who deserve to be called law enforcement
professionals, but they're few and far between. As a rule I have very little respect for cops, and I have ever since my first personal interaction with them when I was a kid. I admit that I'm prejudiced against them, and they have to earn my respect. But they seldom do anything but lose any bit of it they had.
I had one cop pull me over when I almost hit another car that made a left turn in front of me, from a one-street onto a one-way street. I missed them by inches, and would have rear-ended them if they hadn't gone over into the next lane to my right. The cop asked me, "What're tryin' to do? @$$-pack them?" I said, "No. I didn't know they were going to run a red light." Then the cop said, "They didn't run a red light.", and I said, "Well, I had a green light. Was it green both ways?" The cop was parked across the street opposite the traffic light that was facing the other driver. How the @#$% could he tell what color a traffic light was that was facing directly away from him? There were only 2 traffic lights at the intersection and neither one was facing him. He was just in the mood to pull me over and give me a hard time, even though I did nothing wrong. He didn't stop the car that flew out in front of me nearly causing a collision.
Before I got a vanity plate with my name on it I had one that said LedFoot. You can only have a maximum of 7 numbers, letters, and spaces so I spelled it Led like Led Zeppelin. One day a guy asked me, aren't you afraid of the cops pulling you over with that license plate on there? And since I have a tendency to speed like most people I thought he had a point, I might get singled out, so I changed it. This is the half-assed Dodge van I was driving at the time. It wasn't slow. It wasn't fast. It was just half fast. One guy at work when he saw me on a break in the cafeteria would always greet me with a Hey, HalfFast but it sounded more like HalfAss.
