It's called being an apologist. I'm not sure why we have so many of them around here.
Also, I skipped the part about knowing that exact same cop years, as he had formerly worked as a security guard at my college. He had quite literally broken up a keg party in my dorm and confiscated my keg and tap one night in his capacity as a college public safety clown. I'm pretty sure that in my drunken anger I called him every name in the book and that he had wrote me up for disrespecting him.
So when he pulled me over a few years later and hassled me I knew it was personal. After getting out of the car and jumping through hoops it was clear that I was going to pass every test. Finally after enough bullshit drunk girl called out, "Waz taken' so long?" like a dumb drunk broad. At that point he totally focused on her. He went from total dickhead (to me) to Mr Niceguy wannabe rape counselor in a fraction of a second. "Is everything alright ma'am? Are you sure you feel safe with this guy? Has he hurt you? He wont be able to hurt you any more if you tell me what happened." Blah blah blah. She kept telling him to leave us the F alone.
I'm pretty sure his goal was to cockblock me. Which is funny because the girl wasn't that hot in my opinion...but she would have been a real prize for a loser like him.
Then after she closed her front door it was a 10 minute conversation which alternated between him grilling me and lecturing me. And you gotta stay on your toes when cops act uppity like this, because they'll throw your ass in jail for resisting arrest if you tell them to go fuck themselves.
Anyway, my story sucks. I haven't thought about it in years and I'm not sure why I'm talking about it now. It's just one example of a cop being a power-tripping asshole. I have a few other stories like that. Of course there are millions of other stories about cops abusing their power.

Ever think that maybe you could avoid these problems if you didn't cope a bullshit attitude everytime you encountered a badge?
