My father, RIP, was retired CHP. He would have had someones head if that happened in his area.
That said, he made mistakes, and admitted to them. But he was from the OLD DAYS, badge # in the 4000's. I rode with him often enough as an adult to see how he treated folks. Even criminals and suspects were treated with respect as humans.
He was once called to backup 3 officers that were having problems with a drunk that was combative. Dad shows up, says "stay here and let me talk to him". Says to the guy "can I talk to you". He says "you can but not those A holes". Tells him "you know you're going to go to jail right". Guys says "yes". Dayd says "well why don't you let me take you in and no one will get hurt and there won't be extra charges on you". Guys say "no problem officer, thanks for being nice about it" and turns around so dad can cuff him. Then the others wanted to transport and dad said "nope, I gave hiim my word".
It was better if you were there but those three offiers were "young un's" and the "old guy" settled it like it could have been settled in the first place with a little less "I'm a cop do what I say" and a bit of intelligence.
