Nah my mom got a flat once and was crying in her car alone on the side of the interstate and cop came up calmed her down and changed her tire. The few bad apples analogy is painfully overused, but really is true. Don’t get me wrong I’ve met some cops where I’ve wanted to bash their face in, but overall its usually a pleasant experience, and even if shit does go down and they do violate your rights, just stay cool, comply, and then sue the shit out of them. Got that advice from a cop actually.

The better analogy for police I’ve seen is that a good tree does not produce bad fruit, it needs to be torn up from the roots. While it’s good your mom had a good experience with the police, the truth is that they do not exist to serve the people. Multiple SCOTUS cases have stated that police are only there to protect private interests and they act accordingly
