Reply #19: That seems to be my problem too

It probably comes from being able to boss civilians around arbitrarily. I know you think it's just part of your job but it does not really prepare you to deal with fellow citizens as equals and express yourself accordingly. I don't mean respect so much as being able to take criticism and deal with others being upset with you.

Sometimes I run into cops who act like normal people. When I do it gives me confidence in that individuals ability to handle the huge mount of power we give them to do their job.
