YEah, I agree with you and thanks for the kind observation :)
I think it came down to her demeanor and initial introduction. No human being likes to be talked down to. I don't care if you're a police officer or a day car worker or just citizen joe. People just don't. If she would have said something like "excuse me Officer I sincerely do not mean be intrusive but would it be possible that you could give me a run down what happened here as that is my daughter over there " Or something like that. I think these officers would have been more than happy to describe what had occurred if she has done that
For sure! I have had my share of people talk to me like that when I was working in retail. I will never forget an older lady who thought I should give a hoot who her husband was. I asked for her name for something and she said "my husband is xxxx" I just stood there like okay? It was pretty funny.
