I only met cool cops in the US (perhaps because they saw I was a foreigner).
However, I do agree that in Europe you don't feel threatened at all by them, and that doesn't seem to be true in the States.
There seems to be a trend in the US to treat everyone like criminals by default, while in Europe until they think you've done something wrong they're extremely nice (as they should).
Although you were downvoted, it would be interesting to understand why that is. For sure the fact that anyone Police stop could have a gun has something to do with it.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoThere seems to be a trend in the US to treat everyone like criminals by default It's been that way for a long time. My dad worked at a prison for many years. To him, everyone was suspicious as hell: murderers, rapists, drug addicts/dealers, thieves, or (especially) sexual predators. None mutually exclusive, either.

- nkkollaw 10y agoYes, I thought so, but the point he raised was interesting.
