it pains to no end my cop buddy friends who have to deal with citizens believing they know the law better, don't have to do x/y/z, etc. in some cases i don't mind if people push back, in others people seem to be so fucking stupid and in the wrong it's amazing, and they even keep pushing their views as if talking more will help them win or as if it's reasonable to expect a cop to dedicate their day convincing them of something.
another cop buddy who eventually went to law school and also quit being a cop said cops don't know the law all that well really - which i don't find that surprising - it really doesn't matter though since the cop has a huge amount of leeway in being wrong, and you have almost none at all.
these idiots probably even think they are helping out the open carry movement, all they are doing is being examples of stupid as fuck citizens who are harming it though.
