Why does being near a cop make it feel like you're doing something wrong?

[SandyCat]

My local grocery store has a cop in the store at all times because the melanin enriched keep helping themselves to reparations and every time I see the guy it feels like I'm up to no good.

All I'm doing is just buying bread and trying to commit larceny what's the big deal?

I'm usually worried the officer will notice my CCW and coke boogers

You monster.

Because everything is legal until you get caught, and these are the fellows who get you caught. It's the same reason why you felt uncomfortable in school when your teacher was looking over your shoulder.

 

[Least Concern]

Because odds are he's a meathead schoolyard bully with a gun, and he got into the job so he could beat up and kill bad guys, not bust petty shoplifters so they can get released on their own recognizance. He really is staring you down, hoping you give him a reason to shoot, or at least tase, you, because the nightly wife-beatings just aren't giving him the same thrill anymore.

Cops are kind of like a game with too much RNG, sure you'll usually be fine but you never know when you roll a natural 1 and the cop decides to murder you for fun.

because they know that you have a furry avatar on kiwifarms

Especially if your black. It's like you have a target on your back for them to hit like it's a video game

Cops can have a lot of power and in some jurisdictions, not much training, education, or supervision behind it. A bad cop could easily destroy an innocent citizen’s life. You’re scared because cops are scary.

Cops are necessary and I don’t dislike them, but anyone with that level of power is scary.

 

[JamusActimus]

Because pigs look human.

The cop senses your sins...like not sharing that sandwhich with me you bastard!

 

[Shringlecrink]

Mainly because if they really wanted to they could just shoot you and bury your reputation , there is nothing people could do to clear you if say they have friends in the administration of the department

To be fair, if you're black you probably did something to deserve it.

 

[The Repeated Meme]

My interactions with cops has generally been positive but if any of them ever demanded to search my bag or my house I'd tell them to suck a lemon.

 

[A Gay Retard]

I like cops alright
dont stand behind and to the right they dont like that

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

Because I liked being spanked by an officer in uniform.

 

[JethroTullamore]

I don’t feel that way, but than again I’m not a nigger.
