Back on topic.
"The police do not care about keeping you safe. If they did, they wouldn’t put innocent people in danger every day by driving unmarked cars, behaving unprofessionally, and performing no-knock raids. All these things make it quite easy to impersonate an officer in order to commit a crime.
People know their lives are literally in jeopardy if they disobey even the most minor order from a police officer. Innocent people are no exception, and simply questioning an officer, or asserting one’s rights has gotten people beaten, arrested, and even killed.
Because of this environment created by an overbearing oppressive police state, a perfect opportunity has opened up for criminals to easily exploit their victim’s fear of police. Criminals simply need to pose as police, and any resistance on the part of their victims melts away."

"Impersonating officers is not uncommon as you can see. This blind obedience to officers has caused women to be sexually assaulted, and homes to be invaded. But it is not just the fake cops you have to worry about.
Actual Police Commit Crimes Too
Real police commit crimes too, which is all the more reason not to place some members of society above fellow citizens.
If a police officer engages an innocent person, that person must essentially ask permission to walk away from the encounter. The fact that police demand unquestioning obedience, and act violently enraged if their authority is challenged only helps criminals get away with their crimes while posing as police officers.
But this same bullying extralegal behavior is used by police to commit crimes. Last year a Texas officer sexually assaulted a female driver, and a Honolulu officer was accused of raping a 14-year-old girl.
Unfortunately, rape and sexual assault by police officers appear to be extremely common. And even when the case is “resolved” with a conviction of the officer, the sentence is a miscarriage of justice."
"One woman was offered a ride home by an officer after an incident had been resolved without any arrests.
She said she didn’t consent, but didn’t resist or say no because she was scared for her life.“If I would’ve fought him back, yes, he would’ve murdered me. He would’ve took my life and I have kids,” she said.
The officer ended up being and sentenced to one year in prison.
61% of all victims of police crimes are women. In San Diego, patrol officers working alone at night against women they pulled over."
"Police also invade homes. An 80-year-old-man was by police after they broke into his home in a no-knock raid. They had obtained a search warrant with the only evidence being that they smelled chemicals associated with making meth. Hearing a home invasion, the elderly man picked up a pistol and was shot to death in his bed without firing a shot. No meth was found. The officers were not charged with the murder and were found to have acted appropriately.
This highlights how the drug war, no knock raids, and militarized police also contribute to the problems faced when trying to protect your life from thugs in real or fake uniforms.
But sometimes cops don’t even get a trumped up warrant before murdering innocent civilians.
One man was when he took his legally owned firearm with him to open the door after a loud knock late at night. The officer did not identify himself, but seeing a gun, shot the man to death. For some reason, the officer was not charged, and the court prevented the man’s family from suing him, citing qualified immunity. They said it was not clear that the officer had committed any crime in murdering the homeowner.
The problem with police committing crimes is so voluminous that we can only scratch the surface here. But one thing is for sure, you have almost as much reason to fear becoming the victim of a crime from a real uniformed officer as from someone posing as an officer."
Hey, that's unfair to Assholes wordwide ..I've been staying on topic, in my thread to boot, you asshole.
What are you, the OP's white knight?
I wasn't aware there was an opinion I wasn't supposed to have on this topic. What would have been acceptable to you? "In my opinion, tarantula wasps should eat more bacon, because that way Reese's Peanut Butter Cups can do the macarena!"
I'm nobody's white knight. I've criticized the OP for doing a shit poor job of trying to make his point, lazily spewing copypasta instead of offering much of any real opinion or analysis of his own. Don't cry like a bitch because your little friend is doing an equally piss-poor job. Not my problem.
It's very simple,don't break the law !
"“Mr. Watson, would you step out of your vehicle? I want to speak with you for a minute.”
Scott — an exceptionally level-headed fellow — shook his head and let out an exasperated sigh as he exited the car.
“What is he doing with Scott?” Korrin asked me.
“He’s back there playing some kind of alpha-male game,” I replied, predicting that he’d find some way to do Scott a “favor” in expectation of Scott’s submissive gratitude.
To Scott’s considerable credit, he remained utterly stolid in the face of the armed stranger’s posturing. When he came back to the car, he was even more disgusted than he had been when he left — even though he brought the welcome news that he was not getting a ticket. As he handed our ID cards back to Korrin and me, Scott related the conversation to us.
“The first thing he asked me was, ‘How do you know William Grigg?'” Scott reported. “I told him, ‘Will is a friend of mine.’ Then he said, ‘Well, you tell him that next time he encounters law enforcement, he’d better cool it!’ Then he said that I wasn’t going to get a ticket because I had been ‘cooperative,’ but warned that there were two state troopers between here and Lewiston and that they’d stop me if I went as much as three miles over the speed limit, so I’d better be careful.”"

"The presumptuous intrusiveness of the officer who stopped us reflects a martial law mindset: Like most law enforcement officers, he sees himself as a caste apart from, and set above, the “civilian” population, and thus empowered to command submission from us.
More to the point: He sees himself as possessing innate authority, rather than authority derived from the law. He is the law, at least in the theater of his small and otherwise uncluttered mind. Note how his idea of a legal warrant is the phrase, “Because I told you to.”"
