Wait, some police officers abuse their power? Say it isn't so!

See, no, it's not an abuse of power, because their job is LIFE AND DEATH, and so when they go to get a coffee or fuck around doing whatever absolutely necessary thing away from their cruiser they need to do, they absolutely have to park like the biggest dicks in town, because it lets them get to the emergency faster somehow. Or I guess they should just let your mom get raped, then??

Wow, uh, that’s uncalled for but I guess user name checks out.

It’s extremely sensible to think it’s not great for someone in a position of authority to use that authority to do the things they’re meant to do and not other things.

Pretty sure this was sarcastic.

Wow. Since I’ve met so many of that kind of person online that tonight never crossed my mind.
