Cops are suppose to make us feel safe but instead all they do is make us feel uncomfortable and nervous

I don't really agree with that (making us feel safe). That's just some line everyone's been fed their entire life. Their entire function is to maintain order, which really has little to do with wanting us feeling safe. It's all about control. You control the population and you control the country. That type of shit dates back thousands of years (if not 10's or 100's of thousands). Every branch of "enforcement" is answerable to another branch above it, all the way up to the very top.

Not all cops are bad people though. I think it's really wrong to say that every cop is bad. I've had cops cut me breaks on going to jail many times even though I probably should have ended up there.

I never said they're all bad. Attitude goes a long way and even most of the prickiest of cops will respond positively as long as you're respectful with them. There are still those bad apples that no matter what you do they're just going to try and fuck you over though.
A good cop to me is one who can take the disrespect and still be professional. Those are kind of rare. Most (IME anyways) will turn into an asshole if they even perceive you to be disrespectful. Totally regardless of whether you actually were or meant to be.

What he said. the key word here is polite. And if you're carrying something, for gosh sake make sure all your lights are in working order and obey all traffic laws.

This is a very bold statement.
You don't have to call them sir/maddam/m'am etc.
Just be polite, you generally get off better or off completely if you are slightly in the wrong.
Police generally show a lot of respect back to those who are polite and honest. What goes around comes around. Depends on location too I would guess.

Their job is to fuck you over any way they possibly can.
90% or more of cops are decent human beings who believe, falsely or not, that they are helping their communities and making the world a better place.
Then there's the other cunts...

Yes, I believe that to be true, myself as I've met some quite ice cops on the rare occasions I've ran into one.

Being as respectful as possible to cops is the best way to prevent them from fucking you over. Being rude and disrespectful to cops is idiotic. They can and will beat the shit out of you, plant drugs on you and or frame you and say you assaulted them. Or you could be super polite and go home unharmed .

It's all about getting them to identify with you.
"Oh snap, I'm carrying a gun just like that! Mine's a lot bigger, but it's not registered."

It's quiet out here. Mostly. I usually let officers go ahead of me in line at gas stations. I rewired some of their facilities last year so I'm on good terms with them. I've been pulled over twice with weed the last 5 years and got let go because I wasn't "smoking that reefer and driving". Got pulled over last winter doing 70 in a 45. Was icy as shit. Told the deputy the car was out of control on the ice and I couldn't stop it and was looking for a snowbank to slow me down so I wouldn't kill anyone.
He checked my shitty truck tires, asked if I had drugs or guns, saw my work truck and I guess knew my boss. He did say though if there was no ice I'd be paying hundreds of dollars with possible revocation. "Yes sir, thank you sir, have a great day and please be safe as well."

Country living I guess, and not being a belligerent asshole with loaded firearms while trafficking drugs.
Respect goes a long way. I don't think a lot of people here realize that. It's applicable to anything in life.

I know what you mean, I had the exact same relationship with a Surinam gang in the city I lived in.

Just like regular peeps don't like a cop being a dick to them, cops don't like having to deal with the people they pull over being a dick either.
I love the police resistance videos though where the person that was pulled over is being asked nicely to step out of the vehicle and they think they don't have to comply...then they get tazed lol.

Sell, some are jerks, and not spending the night in jail is nice. Then there are some that are good people with a shitty job, and making a job where some punk ass kid could pull out a gun and blow you out of this world at any time worse is a dick move. There are dicks though. On God, there are smegma encrusted, tumor riddled dicks
