Your buddy sounds like a good dude, but growing up here in D.C. the cops were total dicks. PG County cops, too, now that I think about it. I'm not a cop a hater by any stretch, but it's like they go out of their way at times to prove who's in charge. And by doing so they incite attitudes.
LOL..I can see Joey Porter's big ass now, rolling up his car windows pissing them off.

I have a friend who is a PG cop. He is a good guy but I wouldn't want to run into him while he is working. I don't think you can use PG county as a barometer for all police, that place is a warzone.
He gave me this advice, do not mouth off to them and whatever you do, don't run. And if you do run, do not run into the woods or an enclosed area because they 100% will beat the shit out of you.
That being said, most of the cops that I have encountered are useless pricks. Ever since some illegal aliens harrassed my wife and kid on the road and ran into the back of our car (no significant damage, but there was damage and their was a witness) and then didn't even write the other car a ticket, I could care less about them. I am sure that some of them are good people but a lot of them abuse their authority, use their authority when it suits them and are pretty much just glorified revenue producers for the state.
I had a neighbor who was a police officer in Philadelphia (another good guy), he confirmed that a huge percentage of the officers up there are getting envelopes a couple of times a week.
Police are just like everybody else, except they are empowered.
