Is this just cops or people in general?

To some extent, people in general But I think it's interesting because people don't expect that from cops because they think they're always alpha. I don't think most people realize the jocular power play that goes on in the locker room of most police departments.

Assuming this guy just came out of no where what would you do in this situation?

Walk the frick away, like you're supposed to. Don't know what that guy's talking about and he has nothing to do with me.

. And for the guy to say at the end of then video that they have no evidence the investigator was drinking on the job makes me question his motive.

His motive is irrelevant. It serves a purpose as far as I'm concerned. Like I said, I feel like the cop passed the test. Maybe for the wrong reasons but still. Non reactionary cops are difficult to find.

This is America, jack. You should be able to walk up to law enforcement and say whatever you want without getting a ridiculous reaction from them as long as you're not making any specific threats of violence, confessing to committing any crimes or having the intent to commit any crimes or interfering with their ability to do their job.
