this mentality WILL get you far because the police ARE out to get us. ive never been pulled over by a cop, or been at a party where the cops showed up "just to say hi" or "hang around and maybe have a few drinks" my first instinct when seeing a police officer is to shut the fuck up, walk the fuck straight and try not make direct eye contact or look too suspicious. will every single cop alive fuck you for no reason? no, there's totally cool cops, but will a vast number of cops FUCK YOUR LIFE UP just because they can? YES. which is why it is just safer to assume they all want you in jail with a 350lb serial murderer 9" deep in your poop-hole than it is to greet each and every police officer with an open mind and heart.
its the same with bears or cougars or great white sharks. will every single great white shark kill me on site? no way, great whites eat whales and shit, humans aren't partt of their natural food chain and as long as im not bleeding profusely or flailing in the water like a seabird or dolphin, i should be perfectly fine, but when i see a great white shark do i swim out to try and give that shark a hug? no. because i like having legs and im not a fucking idiot.
i guess you're the type of person that swims out to greet the shark, except you arent that cool so when the shark meets you hes not like "hey look how brave this guy is coming to hang out with me! were gonna be best buds and go to sick undersea parties for life!" hes actually all "fuck this scrawny white punk bitch" and tears you limb from limb with endless rows of gnashing teeth.
