First of all, it was right she got pulled over. but i agree that the officer should have listened.
Now, put yourself in the officers shoes. You’re driving and the driver in front of you is swerving and not driving “correctly.” As an officer, would your first thought be “oh this person must be a diabetic!” a or that the person is drunk. i go everyday thinking that a person driving erratically is drunk.
I, myself work at a police department. I am not an officer, but i do understand why they work, the way they do.
A while back i was invited to a course on emotional survival for police officers, and i really got an inside look on the way they act.
Yes officers are jerks, bastards, whatever you wanna call them. but understand this… officers get front row seats to the most unimaginable things you can think off. when you hear about destruction, abuse, murders who is the first to know about it? officers. they get a firsthand look at the worst of the worst. now, try looking at that all day long and deal with what you think is a drunk driver. most of whom (actual drunks) give officers a very difficult time. and because they deal with the worst, they have to keep their guard up and be prepared for the worse.
so again. it was right that she got pulled over and i’m glad no one got hurt especially herself. but you have to look at it from an officers perspective.
oh and i mean no offense to anyone i’m not saying this in a rude way. but watch what you say about officers. i get that alot where i work. people i talk to go on about how they hate cops and they’re just jerks with an easy job cause they can be rude to people. news flash. it is not an easy job. it’s more difficult than you can imagine. then and think about ragging on them when you need an officers help. to often i realize people running to our station for help were people whom i heard saying the most horrible things about officers.
sorry i just had to get that off my chest…
