I could answer this by reversing your questions into answers----

1) Because there are a lot of rude, stupid people out there,

2) Because patience easily runs thin when you have to deal with these nasty idiots, and

3) Because most people these days act like spoiled little children instead of responsible mature adults!

- I forgot to mention most cops are NOT mean people. Like you. Tough yes. Mean? Only in a good way....."tough and mean" (meaning resilient).

They enjoy being authority figures. That's the main reason why a lot of them become cops in the first place.

It's not all of them. It's just the ones who are way insecure with small egos (or oversized goes) who're trying to overcompensate. Sadly, the ones with the smallest egos are the ones who make the headlines. You rarely hear about the ones who do genuinely good things for people.

They may talk to you like a parent because they believe you have done something wrong.

They enforce the law, they are tought to be strict.

Of the few run-ins i have had with police, they are great people. If you give them attitude and refuse to co-operate, they will treat you how you treat them.

Just like anyone really.

Because most suspects are a threat to their safety, and refuse to comply. Imagine if 90% of the people you meet each day are a threat to your life, or are simply rude and disrespectful to you. Do you think you would have a cheery outlook in life?

- i highly doubt 90% of the people they meet each day are disrespectful.. it seems like cops are always pushing people's buttons, instigating trouble, and belittle people

- Me too. That is why I did not say as much. However, there are very few times in your life in which you will interact with a cop for a positive reason. If you are interacting with a cop, it usually is because you are being accused of a crime. Nobody likes to be accused of a crime, whether you did it or not. But that is the job of a cop. And 90% of every encounter a cop makes is a potentially life threatening situation.

ppl who deal in a profession that mostly has contact with the underside of society start expecting everyone to act that way. Its a danger of many professions. But saying most are mean, that is pre-judging them the same way you say they are pre-judging you.
Comments
- yes! thank you for that answer.
  
  so many people think that when they get pulled over the cop is out to get them but if you greet the cop nicely and speak to then like a frined most of the time they will let you off with a warning. cops have hard jobs. try it for a day and i bet you would act like they do.

Usually it is the young (new) policemen who are mean. They are angry because their job can be very aggravating seeing people make the same mistakes over and over. They talk down to you like a parent maybe because they are thinking you need one or yours may not be tough enough?
