Why are some cops jerks!?

[wondergirl9847]

My dad was driving me downtown Fort Worth to go to the Greyhound Bus station last week and they've got the streets alllllllll screwed up and torn up. We don't go downtown that often, and were confused as to where to turn. My dad turned the wrong way, and guess what....there were 3 cops standing around talking (ppfftt...go find a murderer, rapist, child molester or something.) and one of them stops my dad. My dad politely goes "We're lost." and jerkoff goes "Well, yeah, that's no excuse. That's what people say after there are bodies everywhere, there's a fire and people are dead." I mean, good gravy, what a jerkoff-y thing to say. This guy acted like he was hot shiz talking down to my dad. There was no need for that. He could have politely said "Well, yeah, I'd say so, where are you trying to go so I can get you out of the street here?"

I know they are there to help and I appreciate them for sure, but there was no need for that kind of talk. I do appreciate he didn't give my dad a ticket too, but wearing the uniform does not = acting like a jerk.

Anyway, my rant for the day.
