Nope, not at all. That is a very nice thing they did.

Folks will never understand that police deal with good and bad people, and in most cases the officer will treat a person based on their reaction of being stopped or placed under arrest. You can pretty much control how easy or hard you make it on yourself. An officer has to do his/her job whether you are happy about it or not, and whether you cooperate or not. Trying to be Billy Bob Bad Ass isn't going to go well.

Nope, I sure won't. Good on them.

However, the presence of good cops does not mean we should turn a blind eye to the bad ones any more than the presence of bad cops means we should demean the rest.

Does it?

i don't know about that

many cowboys always looking to be as physical as they can, lot's of inner city cops who think it normal operating procedure to aggressively arrest.

That's real nice, but right now I want to see some more good cops speaking out against the bad ones. That will impress me.

For example the one that Carl posted here.

I do not think so. Pension and benefits for the police are really good compared to say a job at Walmart. It is still an entry point into the middle class. That is one reason why so many police have relatives that work in law enforcement, local government. My dad worked at Ford but I bet it is more difficult to get hired there today....well it was in the more recent past anyway.

I very much doubt that. High paying jobs, you never get fired, get to moonlight, retire with 90% of your salary (nay final income) for life and get to carry a gun all the time.
