It was suggested that I move this and start a new thread. So this is what happened.
I have been told most (85/95%) LEOs are good guys. This I believe. Thus some (5/15%) are "cobains". I have seen a great deal of video about leos (the 5/15 group) abusing their power. I was stopped by WSP the end of last week. My Sweet Baboo and I were walking the dogs (gotta stop feeding them, they just poop it out). We are a pretty tame looking pair when out with our little dogs. As we entered B Donovan park I saw a WSP patrol car parked over by the basketball court. We went the other way headed for the water. Now it starts. I hear a voice yell, "HEY" ( not the polite 'hey' but that nasty one, you've heard it) and we turn to see the officer walking twoards us. "Hello, say we, is there trouble about?" He had move about a hundred meters fom his vehicle and the park was empty. "I couldn't notice the you are wearing a gun. I know open carry is legal. " " Do you have some identification?" "Where do you live?" "Why do you need my ID, am I doing something illeagle?" "I don't know you." says he. From there it went downhill. I offered my first name and said "now we know each other." " If I see you with a gun, I'm going to stop you!" says he. Baboo is getting irritated because I was being 'difficult'. "fourth ammendment!!" says I. We(wife & I) argue abut why I am being the designated icehole. ""I am not breaking any laws and he knows it. " After a few minutes more he gave up. WSP went back to his unit and the Bickersons continued walking dogs. It took a full day for Lori to "not be hissed at me" for not cooperating.
I do not mind working with LEOs. I like to work for the "greater Good". My perception of this contact was that he was negetive from the start. Lori did not pick up on the "key phrases" like "HEY" and "If I see you with a gun, I'm going to stop you!" Once you demonstrate you are an Icehole, I no longer consider continued interaction you.
