| A) Spoiled idiots that think that the law doesn't apply to them, like rich jerks or the "I know my rights" types. They just don't get it and by the time they realize what a bad idea what they are doing really is, they are being pepper sprayed and being shoved into a cruiser. B) Complete evil criminals that just don't want to get caught for the fiftieth time and figure "Maybe this time I will get away." |
)! | Police officers who regard the slightest derogatory remark from a citizen as a challenge to their authority, or who are proud of having a "short fuse," provoke unnecessary hostility. They are required to use force or to call for assistance more often than cool-headed officers who are willing to listen to a citizen's "face saving" explanation, or to tolerate a small amount of verbal abuse. One characteristic of anger is that it feeds on itself. If an angry officer confronts a citizen, the citizen sometimes feels the need to preserve his or her image by retorting in kind. The officer who is confronted by angry citizens often finds that a calm, reasoned reaction will surprise the citizens so much that they will calm down and listen to reason. |
