[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 4162683, member: 5391"] In general cops are good people, but even I have had a few problems with them. One thing that really stands out for me was the time that a sergeant with the Kent police in the state of Washington lied to me. At the time, Washington was one of very few 'shall-issue' states. That department did not like to issue carry licenses, and wouldn't do it unless they knew they were forced to. I kept getting a runaround and I let my unhappiness at this show, so the dispatcher sent me up to the sergeant, who asked me why I was giving the girls in the office a hard time. I told him that I was tired of the runaround. He then told me that he didn't have to issue me the permit if he didn't want to. My response was that state law said other wise. He sneered at me "I suppose that you can quote me the state law on that." I quoted the RCW to him and suddenly, he was a LOT nicer, making a big show of calling the dispatcher and telling her to issue my license to me. This was about fifty years ago and I remember the sense of victory that I had standing up to a bully cop. Later on, I became a private security patrolman and worked closely with many members of the Kent police and had some very interesting and fun times with the guys. [/QUOTE]
