◼   ► implicit question of like why you're [TS]

◼   ► going where you're going and I really [TS]

◼   ► just part of this bigger existential [TS]

◼   ► anxiety for me which is I don't have [TS]

◼   ► like one particularly good read [TS]

◼   ► in for anything that I do and I don't [TS]

◼   ► like that like being asked about that [TS]

◼   ► that's easy enough people say like why [TS]

◼   ► of all who cares and second of all [TS]

◼   ► that's a weird question but I'm gonna [TS]

◼   ► doing this is a man I don't you know [TS]

◼   ► what I thought I knew what I was doing [TS]

◼   ► this and now i feel kind of bad that I'm [TS]

◼   ► even here in wasting your time right [TS]

◼   ► apart why am I doing this I'm doing this [TS]

◼   ► what I'm going to go to go visit my [TS]

◼   ► family do I want to do that no i'm not [TS]

◼   ► completely I mean why am i doing that [TS]

◼   ► same thing except its subjects said from [TS]

◼   ► a process first set from a position of [TS]

◼   ► like why are you doing what you're doing [TS]

◼   ► Oh glad that's just having a cop than [TS]

◼   ► one here oh no no but you know but that [TS]

◼   ► that's a potential it's a potential [TS]

◼   ► moment for you guys to really bond over [TS]

◼   ► the fact that are you know what what why [TS]

◼   ► do any of us do anything I it seems like [TS]

◼   ► one of those questions when they give [TS]

◼   ► you a polygraph test before they get to [TS]

◼   ► the like [TS]

◼   ► 24 on that was very upsetting to john [TS]

◼   ► travolta in the movie but you know what [TS]

◼   ► a lot of things were like you ask [TS]

◼   ► somebody a question not to get an answer [TS]

◼   ► but to see how they react to the [TS]

◼   ► question mm and I think that's what a [TS]

◼   ► cop is doing I think they're trained to [TS]

◼   ► do that they don't actually care while [TS]

◼   ► you're driving but they want to see if [TS]

◼   ► you're up to some monkey business [TS]

◼   ► veteran fought in the old fun in the [TS]

◼   ► famous Panama war she recalled the the [TS]

◼   ► this kind of libertarian [TS]

◼   ► anti-authoritarian take over a Wildlife [TS]

◼   ► Refuge style anti-government person but [TS]

◼   ► he was certainly anti-authoritarian and [TS]

◼   ► so I got pulled over this cop foregoing [TS]

◼   ► 15-30 or something like and he [TS]

◼   ► immediately gets you can just hear him [TS]

◼   ► behind me just in this body limp body [TS]

◼   ► English of like all right I'm not taking [TS]

◼   ► you no we're not taking any shit off of [TS]

◼   ► this and it wasn't that he wasn't going [TS]

◼   ► to take any shit it was that he was [TS]

◼   ► communicating to the car that we weren't [TS]

◼   ► going to take it well in the larger way [TS]

◼   ► that no shit would be takin no shit is [TS]

◼   ► going to be taken here this cop you know [TS]

◼   ► soap and so the cop walks up and he's [TS]

◼   ► like I said it's in the middle of the [TS]

◼   ► night you know it's like one of those [TS]

◼   ► it's a little bit fraught already the [TS]

◼   ► complex up and i'm sure he sees the [TS]

◼   ► six-foot-five bald army guy staring [TS]

◼   ► straight ahead with his jaw clenched in [TS]

◼   ► the backseat I'm sure he sees him before [TS]

◼   ► he even sees me and he comes up to me [TS]

◼   ► and he's like Sir do you know why I [TS]

◼   ► pulled you over and I was like yeah I [TS]

◼   ► white privilege oh no that's a big part [TS]

◼   ► i just--there's a thing there's a thing [TS]

◼   ► like cops to a really hard job and it's [TS]

◼   ► really hard with the hottest hard [TS]

◼   ► difficult and dangerous work but but [TS]

◼   ► it's just it's so no matter how old I [TS]

◼   ► get I still think it's weird that [TS]

◼   ► anybody wants to be a cop and I'm still [TS]

◼   ► suspicious of anybody who wants to be a [TS]

◼   ► cop and I know that's wrong i know i'm [TS]

◼   ► sorry i'm certain that there are people [TS]

◼   ► who are genuine sociopathic bullies who [TS]

◼   ► specifically with a Napoleon complex who [TS]

◼   ► in particular become cops just so they [TS]

◼   ► can be bossy [TS]

◼   ► I don't doubt that for a second but [TS]

◼   ► there are a lot of good people but the [TS]

◼   ► job is so weird I mean the actual job [TS]

◼   ► you think about the job I think about in [TS]

◼   ► your case like if somebody you're in a [TS]

◼   ► position where somebody says to you hey [TS]

◼   ► John like i'll give you like fifty [TS]

◼   ► dollars to come to Boston for an hour [TS]

◼   ► and you're in a position to go like oh [TS]

◼   ► you know that's not really a good deal [TS]

◼   ► for me and like I wouldn't want to do [TS]

◼   ► that whereas somebody else's I'm gonna [TS]

◼   ► get $50,000 to like do something in your [TS]

◼   ► own backyard you say yeah they'll do [TS]

◼   ► that could you can weigh like what [TS]

◼   ► that's a good use of your time [TS]

◼   ► happens to me all the time all the time [TS]

◼   ► both directions you're constantly [TS]

◼   ► fielding offers but when you're a cop [TS]

◼   ► it just seems like there's so much stuff [TS]

◼   ► that basically just comes down to time [TS]

◼   ► and paperwork and in that case like why [TS]

◼   ► he did he really pull you over like was [TS]

◼   ► did he pull that any people do over you [TS]

◼   ► follow i'm going with this one yeah what [TS]

◼   ► a weird job to have to pull somebody [TS]

◼   ► over check their information and not [TS]

◼   ► give a ticket like okay so was he just [TS]

◼   ► looking for was he working off the books [TS]

◼   ► for people who like were had drugs in [TS]

◼   ► their car or something was that part of [TS]

◼   ► his assignment was this assignment to [TS]

◼   ► get more tickets like what was his job [TS]

◼   ► what what part of his job was he doing [TS]

◼   ► when he pulled you over Andy succeed at [TS]

◼   ► it [TS]

◼   ► yeah and I don't know I can't answer [TS]

◼   ► that question without without rolling [TS]

◼   ► through this whole array of motivations [TS]

◼   ► for why you would be a cop in the first [TS]

◼   ► place and what their actual role is in [TS]

◼   ► society because I i honestly can't tell [TS]

◼   ► you but your five different peoples [TS]

◼   ► fight for reasons why they want to pull [TS]

◼   ► somebody over because it is based on [TS]

◼   ► their intuition right oh well where's [TS]

◼   ► the gun [TS]

◼   ► yeah speaking I mean you know he's on [TS]

◼   ► he's on speed trap duty or whatever [TS]

◼   ► I think it's also two o'clock in the [TS]

◼   ► morning he's driving around he's that's [TS]

◼   ► his job to be out and so he's looking [TS]

◼   ► around and I think the best cops [TS]

◼   ► understand that they are agents of the [TS]

◼   ► state and that we all agree on laws and [TS]

◼   ► that those laws need to be enforced and [TS]

◼   ► the state and forces them for a variety [TS]

◼   ► of reasons and the way they do that is [TS]

◼   ► through the police and so the worst cops [TS]

◼   ► think that they are personally charged [TS]

◼   ► with a with a personal authority to be [TS]

◼   ► out there busting bad guys like those [TS]

◼   ► that's just the wrong motivation almost [TS]

◼   ► like a crusader [TS]

◼   ► yeah right i mean the guys that think [TS]

◼   ► that they have some superior ability to [TS]

◼   ► handle situations and get in there and [TS]

◼   ► you know deal with people deal with you [TS]

◼   ► know the bad guys like those guys should [TS]

◼   ► I don't know what they should do they [TS]

◼   ► should become trainers you know but but [TS]

◼   ► the best cops understand that like we [TS]

◼   ► need police because the state makes laws [TS]

◼   ► the benefit of us all and then we have [TS]

◼   ► to enforce those laws because a lot of [TS]

◼   ► people are gonna you know a lot of [TS]

◼   ► people are going to say that doesn't [TS]

◼   ► apply to me [TS]

◼   ► myself included and so yeah the cops are [TS]

◼   ► out there they're like okay I'm i pulled [TS]

◼   ► the i pulled the one am 28 a.m. shift [TS]

◼   ► and i'm out here enforcing the laws and [TS]

◼   ► if I see a guy driving 15-30 whose cars [TS]

◼   ► on fire and he's on top of it wearing a [TS]

◼   ► toga and waving a scimitars I'm [TS]

◼   ► definitely pulling him over [TS]

◼   ► uh-huh because he is gonna be something [TS]

◼   ► going on he appears to be a danger to [TS]

◼   ► everyone [TS]

◼   ► well you know also just basics weather [TS]

◼   ► since you know smoke there's fire or [TS]

◼   ► better still where there's fire there's [TS]

◼   ► a car on fire and that's probably why [TS]

◼   ► she got the road [TS]

◼   ► that's exactly right but you getting to [TS]

◼   ► the seminar he's driving along and he [TS]

◼   ► sees a guy he's a car full of guys uh [TS]

◼   ► who look like a former Army Rangers and [TS]

◼   ► they're going too fast and that's really [TS]

◼   ► the only thing that's going on right now [TS]

◼   ► he's looking around he wishes it a space [TS]

◼   ► alien would come down and give him [TS]

◼   ► something exciting to do but that's the [TS]

◼   ► only thing that's going on and so he's [TS]

◼   ► like all right I'm gonna pull these guys [TS]

◼   ► over and he checks your idea [TS]

◼   ► he puts it into the computer is like all [TS]

◼   ► right nobody and I think he took [TS]

◼   ► everybody's idea for a cliq if i [TS]

◼   ► remember correctly ok I you know and and [TS]

◼   ► everybody was fine and it was like this [TS]

◼   ► is fine this is just a normal situation [TS]

◼   ► and that's why I say yeah I was speeding [TS]

◼   ► I I honestly I and I mean I'm not [TS]

◼   ► flipping him attitude like seriously [TS]

◼   ► dude it's just like yeah I understand [TS]

◼   ► why you pulled me over but also do you [TS]

◼   ► understand why I'm going 15 to 30 and he [TS]

◼   ► does and so everything so he Percy sees [TS]

◼   ► himself and his job correctly which is [TS]

◼   ► like I'm out here because people want me [TS]

◼   ► out here and when I encounter a [TS]

◼   ► situation i can use my good judgment and [TS]

◼   ► say move along who um it's just it's [TS]

◼   ► just those bad cops that and anything is [TS]

◼   ► a lot of the bad cops are always the [TS]

◼   ► ones that don't see themselves as bad [TS]

◼   ► because they're the ones out there [TS]

◼   ► breaking knees and chasing bad chasing [TS]

◼   ► guys in hoodies and making the world [TS]

◼   ► safe you know and that's just it seems [TS]

◼   ► that's that seems like a stereotype that [TS]

◼   ► must have its factual you know examples [TS]

◼   ► in life even I mean as much as that [TS]

◼   ► stereotype that must happen i'm talking [TS]

◼   ► about like in his case like in and this [TS]

◼   ► is why I struggle to understand like [TS]

◼   ► what it's like to be a you-know-what ago [TS]

◼   ► you would not a beat cop but like you [TS]

◼   ► know a lower-level police officer not a [TS]

◼   ► detective not somebody's charged was [TS]

◼   ► saying look we need you to use your [TS]

◼   ► intuition and to use these various kinds [TS]

◼   ► of you know known data to make decisions [TS]

◼   ► about how to proceed with this right [TS]

◼   ► you're more of a knowledge what kind of [TS]

◼   ► job which I'm not saying it's not again [TS]

◼   ► on this thing it's not difficult i'm not [TS]

◼   ► saying it's not you don't be smart to do [TS]

◼   ► it but in that case it's you know it's [TS]

◼   ► it's almost like it almost makes more [TS]

◼   ► sense when you go well you need to make [TS]

◼   ► two thousand dollars in traffic stop in [TS]

◼   ► in traffic fines tonight you know what I [TS]

◼   ► mean you know or think about the job [TS]

◼   ► somebody who's what we used to call a [TS]

◼   ► meter maid it's their job to go like [TS]

◼   ► make money for the government by giving [TS]

◼   ► people tickets and guys partly about the [TS]

◼   ► local merchants you know having a way to [TS]

◼   ► keep parking spaces open but that's that [TS]

◼   ► almost that kind of Sheriff of [TS]

◼   ► Nottingham approach almost makes more [TS]

◼   ► sense like we want we're gonna bust you [TS]

◼   ► missed you at the border with drugs [TS]

◼   ► because we want your speed boat like [TS]

◼   ► that stuff in a medieval way makes more [TS]

◼   ► sense in that case that guy could let [TS]

◼   ► you go by and it would be just less [TS]

◼   ► chance of danger in his life and less [TS]

◼   ► potential paperwork true and that's a [TS]

◼   ► different kind of bad cop you know [TS]

◼   ► that's the cliché of the [TS]

◼   ► doughnut-eating cop sitting in his car [TS]

◼   ► parked in front of a donut shop right [TS]

◼   ► the guy who sees a car speeding but he's [TS]

◼   ► like yeah there's no evidence that he [TS]

◼   ► didn't there's no evidence of his [TS]

◼   ► nonfeasance exactly so he's just like [TS]

◼   ► you know people are people or bad it's [TS]

◼   ► too much trouble right now to go chase [TS]

◼   ► that guy he's making a decision on his [TS]

◼   ► own behalf to a which is just to you [TS]

◼   ► know get paid to do nothing and that's a [TS]

◼   ► different kind of bad cop and then the [TS]

◼   ► meter maid I think it's just a job to [TS]

◼   ► those people you know like that's just [TS]

◼   ► they could be sitting they can be [TS]

◼   ► sitting at a desk at the DMV making the [TS]

◼   ► making life hard for people or they [TS]

◼   ► could be out you know they're that those [TS]

◼   ► are just jobs it is and it's I I feel [TS]

◼   ► really I feel really bad for those [TS]

◼   ► people that they are just you know they [TS]

◼   ► got they got a civil service job gotta [TS]

◼   ► go and do but you know but then on the [TS]

◼   ► other hand when you get a ticket you [TS]

◼   ► didn't really deserved you're like all [TS]

◼   ► of a sudden now the world's all [TS]

◼   ► different [TS]

◼   ► yeah you got a ticket when everyone's [TS]

◼   ► while you meet a meter maid who is like [TS]

◼   ► inhumanly gratified oh it's and that's [TS]

◼   ► why the DMV example is interesting it [TS]

◼   ► you know it again we're getting very [TS]

◼   ► much indeed like certain kind of [TS]

◼   ► middle-class stereotype but there is [TS]

◼   ► that stereotype of somebody who's like [TS]

◼   ► ready for you to treat them badly and [TS]

◼   ► who's like preemptively you know doing [TS]

◼   ► that stuff I got no beef you know we [TS]

◼   ► have a police station very near where I [TS]

◼   ► live and so we interact with cops logic [TS]

◼   ► cesium you know walk around going to the [TS]

◼   ► car and it is it strange that because [TS]

◼   ► there's they the the place near where I [TS]

◼   ► live the cops end up covering something [TS]

◼   ► like about a quarter or fifth of the [TS]

◼   ► city so they have to fan out over a very [TS]

◼   ► large area of western San Francisco [TS]

◼   ► yeah and it's just it's always weird to [TS]

◼   ► read something in the paper about like [TS]

◼   ► something that happened at not just our [TS]

◼   ► local police place but a place it's [TS]

◼   ► fairly near our house [TS]

◼   ► yeah it's a rare thing it's a weird [TS]

◼   ► thing to too because then you like [TS]

◼   ► that's so strange i can never think I [TS]

◼   ► don't [TS]

◼   ► I just think about those people as [TS]

◼   ► people going to work sometimes we hear [TS]

◼   ► sirens [TS]

◼   ► that's the way we are fortunate to feel [TS]

◼   ► very safe where we live there's cops [TS]

◼   ► walking her house all day long but but [TS]

◼   ► at the same time like its it is strange [TS]

◼   ► when you go like that's weird i don't [TS]

◼   ► tend to think of them as stereotypical [TS]

◼   ► like you know cops but that's you know [TS]

◼   ► for sure because that guy is taking it [TS]

◼   ► taking that risk he pulls over that car [TS]

◼   ► full of four guys and they are white [TS]

◼   ► supremacists and their cars are full of [TS]

◼   ► guns and they're on their way to you [TS]

◼   ► know to blow up a synagogue and there's [TS]

◼   ► a shootout in this this poor copies in [TS]

◼   ► the you know is in the firing zone well [TS]

◼   ► it's also it's also the this don't you [TS]

◼   ► call this but you know it's also like [TS]

◼   ► they're there is something that there [TS]

◼   ► might be something that cop could act on [TS]

◼   ► let's put it this way the person driving [TS]

◼   ► that car are riding in that car knows [TS]

◼   ► there's something that cop could act on [TS]

◼   ► now that could be a like a small bit of [TS]

◼   ► weed in your pocket [TS]

◼   ► mmm it could be now not worth killing a [TS]

◼   ► cop over let me tell you what we have [TS]

◼   ► but if you look at out there everybody [TS]

◼   ► on saying this is just how this how you [TS]
