just don't be stupid

I just have no respect for people who have no respect for police officers. Yes, I understand that sometimes power can go to your head. But don't do stupid, illegal things, and you won't have to deal with them. Seriously, if you are underage and drinking, please do not expect the cops to be sympathetic when they find you with alcohol or in a bar. It's illegal. Regardless of what you think the drinking age should be, it is 19 (where I live). Regardless of whether you choose to drink or not, if you are underage and get caught, it does not give you the right to call the police 'pigs' or be snarky or rude to them. It is their job. How would you like it if you had a customer pay you with monopoly money? Yeah, you'd tell them they couldn't do that, and either ask them to leave or get them to use real money. Because it's your job. I have the same issue with people smoking pot. Okay, maybe it isn't the most harmful drug, and maybe we should try decriminalizing it or making it legal or whatever, that is not my point. My point is that currently, it's illegal, so don't be shocked if you're smoking in public and either get fined or it gets taken away. Don't be stupid.
I'm officially refusing to listen to people complaining about police officers for stupid things that they're clearly wrong for. They're doing their job, don't be a dickhead. Maybe this isn't profound, but I just cannot handle people anymore.

It's the exact same when students complain that their teacher 'hates them.' Um, nope, pretty sure you're wrong. Either you're acting out in class and being annoying and disrespectful, or you're stupid. Teachers grade based on smarts, not based on whether or not they like you. So try your best and ask for their help, because they will be willing to help you if you have problems.

Stop complaining. It doesn't make you cool if you 'don't respect authority.' I don't care who you respect. Just know that as soon as something similar to that comes out of my mouth, you lose my respect.
