Cops aren't hired to be friendly. They are hired to enforce the law. I don't like the way laws are prioritized sometimes, and I definitely don't like getting singled out due to my age, car, or music, but that's the price I'll pay for youth, a fast car (when I get one), and listening to some of the stuff on my playlists.
They aren't breaking the law most of the time. We are. Oftentimes, we break the law out of habit without realizing it, and changing our illegal habits is annoying; however, it is the officer's job to let us know that we are doing wrong.
Most of the problem lies in the laws that are getting enforced. Maybe the speed limit should be higher or that stop sign you hate should really be a yield sign. It is your responsibility as a constituent to lobby for the legal changes that you want. The cop just enforces the law as it is today.
Don't hate cops for doing their jobs. You'll hate them a lot more when they start doing things against their jobs.
