I have been known to come off my "square" during NASCAR weekends here at Dover. 200,000 to 300,000 drunks (during racings prime)rampaging the city for a weekend and by the end of Saturday night I am bound to tell someone off with a slur of bad words. These people however would be drunk a-holes that are totally out of control not some young woman and her child. Patience will run thin when you get tired of dealing with mass crowds. So, not to condone the actions, but its a tiny bit more understandable how or why it happened. On race weekends I would much rather be part of the problem than part of the solution

And I kinda understood. The biggest problem I had though was that he didn't take his frustration out on a drunk, disorderly, or whatever, but he decided to yell at one of the only people NOT drinking. Me and both the kids had never been to a Mardi Gras parade. My son wanted a moonpie that had been thrown. He didn't catch it (he was only 4) and so he tried to get it. I wasn't exactly professional either after he yelled at Bonnie. I was a TOTAL dick. I embarrased him in front of everyone and the whole damn parade stopped and it took the 'assistance' of other officers to get me to comply. I was PISSED. But I did get the last word. Only took 4 months.

Cops have bad days just like all the rest of us. IMO most have extreme patience to deal with all the crap and lack of respect they see all the time. So be nice, be respectfull.

Agreed.

BUT. If they have one of those bad days, then I'll respond accordingly. I'm ALWAYS polite and respectful to LEOs. Until they are not to me. Even when I can tell they are in a bad mood, or are just not nice in general, as long as they just deal with me respectfuly and professionaly, I go tno problem. VERY, VERY, VERY few of them are just plain A-Holes all the time. Yet I suspect ALL of them have their bad days. Most can just supress the bad days and just come off as no personalities. Which is a win imo.

I can't remember which month it was. Might have been 1999 instead of 98. But I've hated everything Mardi Gras ever since.
