what do cops look for?

The devils advocate side is this,...I've got a few good friends who are troopers, and locals...Cool as hell,...Have a beer or two off duty, Work great with them when its game time,...One of em drives a replica A/C Cobra that he built himself,...I call em the 1 percenters,...To bad their attitude doesn't rub off on the majority...
it's like Kurt Russell's character says in Dark Blue (paraphrasing): No one ever wants to see a cop until some a$$hole sticks a gun in their face, then you can't get there soon enough"
