When a cop believes that laws don't apply to them and only the Rights that they approve of actively apply to the citizen they are encountering at the moment. They believe that qualified immunity gives them the Right to suspend a citizen's Rights during an encounter - this simply is not true and often results in horrific new headlines.

Citizen is LEGALLY open carrying on PUBLIC land, say a county office building parking lot, and filming in public spaces. Cop approaches citizen to question the activities because they got a call from a county employee inside. Citizen cordially refuses to answer the cop's questions, states that he is acting within the bounds of the law and Rights. Cops continue to try to escalate the situation and display very poor attitudes when they figure out this is just a citizen acting legally and there's nothing they can do to the citizen. This is how cop complex works.
As soon as they discern that the citizen is acting within the bounds of the law they should immediately bid that citizen farewell and depart cordially.
The display of attitude is often misconstrued or chalked up to racism, however, the interaction plays out the same almost every time, across the board, regardless of the citizen's racial composition. This is not a brown, white, or black issue - this is a blue issue.
Note to the reader: If you're a cop reading this, I implore you to turn every citizen interaction into an opportunity to 'protect & server' and deescalate rather than embrace this 'Us vs. Them' attitude that seems so prevalent behind the blue line.

Get the copsmug. A derogatory term for security officers favored by juvenile delinquents, vagrants and imbeciles who can't distinguish between police officers and security officers.
People who use this term are ignorant, petulant, uneducated, entitlement minded, stuck-up brats. They are under the delusion that the world revolves around them and security officers are supposed to be stupid enough to deviate from or even break their protocol to accommodate their overblown, delicate egos. They'll play the victim and cry that security officers are dicks and bullies who "gave them a hard time" because they didn't bend to their will. Their poor opinion comes from a very small percentage of security officers who are actually guilty of everything they say, but ignorantly choose to judge all of us as a whole due to their pitiful inability to think critically.

Angry, stuck-up princess: "Waa! That rent-a-cop made me stop, show a form of ID, sign in the guest log and made me wait one minute to check his list to VERIFY that I was actually on it! He's supposed to be stupid and take my word for everything! Waa!
Security Officer: "Sorry" to hear you're so butthurt because I actually did my job! 😂
