Those are all pretty tame compared to some I would come up with if I were a cop. I'm too much of a smart-ass, and dealing with the folks they do all day, I would get fed up. My wife tells me it's a good thing they hide me away in a cubicle and I don't have to deal with the public.

That said, I'm not a cop. This kind of smart-ass rhetoric has no place coming from their mouths. It's kind of one-sided, after all, coming from them. They expect you to just smile and take it, saying "yes sir/ma'm". If one of them wanted to go tit-for-tat on the smart-ass comments, I bet I could keep up. I also bet I would "lose" big-time if I ever tried.
