I didn't pay attention very well, I guess. But being a cop, things are never constant. You always have things going on that can change in an instant. Nation got a firsthand experience of what it's like to be surprised in a situation that, to the average person, seems to be no big deal. That is why, Madsen said, the cops sometimes come off to people they pull over as being a little harsh, brash or rude.
People question why cops are so rude when they are pulled over.
It's that way with all cops, especially in situations like this. It's for my safety and it's for the person's safety. It states that nationwide in that year, traffic stops accounted for 12.9 percent of officers who were killed, and 10.6 percent of officers who were assaulted.

However, cops do admit to acting more agitated than normal in other types of traffic stops, called felony stops.
