As a generalization, I've noticed a lot of the "older" people on the TFP make gross stereotypical assertions about "young people" when they have nothing of value to add to a conversation, and instead feel the need to make a snide remark to jibe fellow (young) TFP'ers.
I honestly don't think you read his post in its entirety- either that or you're completely misunderstanding him, which is not his fault, and should not cause him to incur insult from you or anyone else.
He took issue with the way the officer handled it. He didn't say all police are dicks. He didn't say "he could have let me go", he wasn't looking for an out. He was looking for a person of the law to do their job-
to serve and to protect. Nowhere in the police job description or title is, "be rude to people as much as you want".
No one is "above" being rude. I don't care who or what you are.
