Normally I'm never the one for defending snobby cops, but I have to step up for them on this one. The donut stereotype is kind of insulting, I mean would you go up to a black guy and offer him watermelon? Okay, I bet some people here would, but you get my point.
Let's face it - donuts are DELICIOUS, and go great with coffee.
Oh my god, I might actually have to make a donut run now. Thanks a lot, whiskey...
I meant only to point out the similarity between the two harmful stereotypes, both of which I think are unacceptable.
I didn't mean to infer anything about the race of the police officers. My apologies to anyone who thought I was.
I'll edit out the remark now, since I don't want it to be misinterpreted.
The whole reason they're on bicycles to begin with is to establish more of a rapport with citizens and get people to see them in a capacity other than anonymous cops in patrol cars. Rather than trying to be intimidating, they should try to engage in casual conversation. That's basic human intelligence. It might be worth it if they happened to chat up the next Ted Bundy or someone who knows about an incident in the area.
