Cops get rough when someone doesn't show them respect but they show no respect themselves. Why is that?

Answer 1

Police Officers are respectful until someone does NOT respect them.  Police Officers are ALWAYS respectful towards themselves.

Answer 2

American cops are trained to be feared.  It is a easy way to control people. It is not respect for what they are. But fear of what they be. You have the two confused. They are also mentally unstable. Roided out persons. Who get there jollies that way. 

Answer 3

Good cops do.           .

Answer 4

Because they can.  Many of the bad cops were high school bullies who found they could continue their passion AND get paid for it.

Answer 5

You suggest one broad statement represents all officers. It does not. 

Answer 6

Yes that's why cop organizations support Republicans!

Answer 7

Arrogance and a badge is the reason.

Answer 8

Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are not. I think half of them are like you describe and the other half would not disrespect you.
