That video will affect untold 1000's of people who base their opinion of police on what the see on TV, either on the news or their favorite TV drama.

Most people never have any interaction with the police day to day, it is suprising to me how many people are shocked when they interact with me and find that I am polite and kind and helpful, even when giving them a ticket. Of course the level of kindness helpfulness drops dramatically when you call me a stupid SOB or the like.

Jason, you did not offend me, I understand that many people have unpleasant experiences with cops, for whatever reason.

I am not the cop that you hate and like I said above, I don't take statements like that personally. I would be willing to bet that if you spent 10 minutes with that cop under different circumstances, you would find that he isn't that bad after all.

I hope that you will keep an open mind and not lump all cops into one heap.
