It is getting to be more clear to me why Cops have an attitude when dealing with others. About 99% of my job is having to shift through bull shit and find a quasi right scenario of what happened. Most of the time it is pretty easy to do. However, other times it is tough. People will flat lie to you as if you are a complete idiot. And I believe as Officer's, at least I do anyway, get a little bit of enjoyment from watching people squirm out of their lies. All I ask from a person when I have to communicate with them is to tell me the truth. If someone tells me the truth, I will do all in my job category ( I don't like to use the word power, so as to not let it seem as though I enjoy it) to not have to take them to Jail and just give them a good charge or violation.
Basically I can see now, and I am sure that it will get even more clear, how people feel that Cops are jerks. It isn't that we, well maybe I, want to be but try dealing with people who lie all the time. They then get mad at you when you have to make a decision concerning all the information given. I guess we try and find a little bit of humor in our attitudes and actions to make it easier to forget.
