I am hugely pro-LEO, and just as hugely anti-bad cop. I think 15 drug dealers do less harm to society than 1 crooked cop, and I'd darn sure prefer to take my chances against 15 drug dealers than to have to deal with 1 crooked cop.

It's doubtful. My theory is it's often a wiring issue. Some people are drawn to the emergency trades, not because they have a desire to help, but because they have a desire for the rush. I think every US police officer should have to spend a 6 month internship in the UK where they're not allowed to wear a gun, and are forced to use reason and common sense to solve problems. It would make them less prone to use the taser and the gun as the first resort.

Or shift change. In Carrollton, I've seen a few flip their lights on before running though the intersection right next the station and then turn into the station parking lot.

But seriously, everyone makes little mistakes like the OP's at one time or another and they are kind funny sometimes.
