So whatever is on cops is staged? I dont really think so
Think for a minute. Someone sits in an editing room and chooses what to show and what not to show. COPS isn't some unbiased look into the life of a cop.
What you need to happen to you, when you're older is when you buy your first expensive car. A cop pulls you over for speeding or whatever. He asks to search your vehicle, you exercise your 4th amendment rights and say no. He takes you out of the vehicle, handcuffs you, goes into your car and starts digging through it.
Let's say that night, you just happen to picked up an HB8 that had a little crack on her and she hid it under her seat. The cop finds it. You're under arrest and going to jail now. The cops impound your car, but before you'll ever get to see that, they literally disassemble your car from ripping the seats out, to checking under the car casing.
Your dad decides to bail you out before your trial for possession and you go down to the impound lot to get your car. You fork out a $500 fee and find out that you can't drive your car home because it was destroyed. And your insurance doesn't cover it.
I think that would be great justice or karma for you.

To the discussion at hand. I wouldn't call cops alpha males. I'd call them narcissistic fascists looking for subsistence. Not all of them, but the ones that act like they have the right to be fascist little nazis like cop movies. The ones that are good actually understand the concept of rights.
