Bad Cop
I had to give my boss a ride home yesterday and I was pulled over on my way back to work. The conversation
Police man “There is a stop sign back there.”
Me “Yeah I know I stopped.”
Him “You didn’t stop.”
Me “I stopped”
Him “You know I can give you a ticket”
Me “Okay”
Him “Don’t tell me you stopped when you didn’t”
At this point I am in shock because I did stop and he is yelling at me, so I just smiled at him (my only defense mechanism).
Him “Stop from now on or I will give you a ticket next time”
Then he got in his car and left. I just sat there for a minute, and then I got pissed. Who the hell did he think he was yelling at me like that, besides I did stop? It is not my fault that he did not see it. He scared me, and that is not fair. I wish I would have yelled at him but instead I was intimidated. When did we give our public servants so much power over the public?

Did you get a ticket?

Since they've had the ability to slap us with unreasonably high priced tickets. Bastard!

Well I have yet to get a ticket. I can charm my way out of them, but I can't be charming when I have not done anything wrong.

I wonder what look on his face he would have had if you had replied "You stop it. I did stop, too."
Abuse of power, that's what that was. Suckers!

Abuse of power is right.

Your post made me laugh, especially the last part where, after letting it marinate, you got pissed off. That is totally what I would have done too.
Power = Bad, no matter which way you slice it!
Damn cops are only out there to serve and protect certain people (i.e. affluent whitie), his property, under his agenda. Buncha power-hungry crooks, all of 'em!
