| If cops want to be a positive presence in the community then they shouldn't regularly extort and abuse citizens and protect their violent and murderous coworkers. |

| That sounds nice. Over here in reality, when a man with a badge and a gun pulls people over for a bit of fun: Refusing to play along with whatever game it is that they have in mind is a criminal offense. |

| > You want police to have a positive presence in the community. Can they not pull up alongside and wave? Give a thumbs-up? Roll down the window? |

| If being a positive presence in the community isn't enough incentive to be that, you don't deserve to be police. And if that sounds hackneyed and like a ridiculous standard, you're damn right it is: we let them have outsized influence in our existence as otherwise free people. Their standard has to be a double standard. |
