Abuse of Authority

Packrat was telling the Old Sarge the other day about an unpleasant encounter with one of New Mexico's finest. Seems Packrat was headed to more or less the same place as the cop and the cop took exception to being followed. Apparently, the shoe doesn't fit as well on the other foot.

At any rate, the cop pulled into a parking lot, circled around, and came up behind Packrat. He made it quite clear that he didn't appreciate being followed, but Packrat managed to keep his temper during the browbeating.

What is it with some people in authority?
