Take a bunch of people and give them a well-compensated job with ironclad job security and allow them to have power over others, and see what happens. This isn't unique to cops. Doctors, university professors, gov't bureaucrats, etc all act the same way. It's human nature.

I agree. You have a point. But most college professors I have come across have been wonderful people. Doctors, can't say the same but no negative experiences here. But cops though, sheesh. Funny how when my house was vandalized and my phone was stolen they couldn't help me but when I park my car somewhere I shouldn't they ARE ALL OVER THAT.

I don't think thats possible for an open container but I don't know the law good enough to make that judgement. They pretended that they might not give me a ticket but since they didn't like my attitude they gave me one. Bull****. They already started writing my friend a ticket so I know they were just being douches. I asked him why he doesn't do something more important like go down to Turk and Taylor and fight some real crime and he went off on me telling me I not to tell him how to do his job. He went on a rant yelling at us. I mean I was seriously curious as to why he got me for an open container in front of Jack in the Box on Geary when he can walk a couple blocks down in the Tenderloin and actually do something meaningful. Then he went on a tangent about me getting pistol whipped somewhere on Turk and if that happens not to call them. It was hard to follow his train of thought he wasn't the most intricate speaker. I just kind of ignored everything he said at that point.

Later that night I my friend and I were walking on larkin by the New Century when we saw about 10 cops walk in. One of them walked in with a shotgun so we were obviously curious to what was happening. We stood outside the door with this big group and all of a sudden the same cop come out and starts cursing at me and tells me to get the **** out of there. Not anyone else, just my friend and I. He threatened to take us to jail again. So we walked away and I got a hold of the non emergency number and the number to file a complaint but I needed his badge number. I decided against walking back down to get his badge number.

We weren't drunk or belligerent on either occasion. I swear he must have a very small penis or I must have reminded him of his high school bully because this guy seriously had something up his ass. I wouldn't care but I have PRIDE and I hate the fact that he is able to order me around. Funny thing is most police officers I see really do look like they could have been bullied in the past. None really look that intimidating, but a lot of them are *******s. I mean you're either nice to people or a dick, and if your a dick your usually intimidating. I really think the guys we ran into were on a huge power trip because they can order everyone around without a reaction. They were very disrespectful and sarcastic. Like seriously, why? And I still don't know why they don't arrest drug dealers and prostitutes but give tickets for parking and open containers. Less paperwork maybe?
Somehow, I don't believe ANY of this actually happened...
