I had a girl friend once who had a mother who would prattle on about the respect she deserved and how I was lacking in the proper attitude. Respect is earned and that particular person didn't deserve the respect I give the slime I scrape off my shoe.
Respect the badge? I used to. But every time I see a cop speeding for no reason other then there is nobody to tell them no, every time I see a cop run a stop sign or a red light, every time I see a police officer behave the way this one did for no apparent reason, I lose a little more respect for them. If the cops don't respect the law or thier oath to uphold it, why should I respect them?
And I will say again, I am unaware of any law that requires "respect" to be shown to officers. He should have just cited the kid.
