While probably true, most people who are dealing with the police don't have time to prepare themselves. The police should be the calm and collected ones.
But they aren't. When I'm dealing with the cops I do everything in my power to remove any doubt. I turn on all the lights in my car. I put my hands on the wheel and only move them after asking permission.
I understand. Our police far too often have the wrong temperament, are ill prepared, undereducated, and don't have the proper incentives. I'm simply saying we should demand far better from our police force. The individuals dealing with the police are likely having a very bad day. And police shouldn't count on them being well put together. We shouldn't accept that of our police.

They're going to come to his house at all hours and say terrible things about the Blazers to try and get him to react so they can arrest him.
