For most the conversation doesn't start like that. IF you add stop and frisk it just gets worse.
To use your example:
Officer: "Good morning, sir. How are you doing today? (I have here a description of someone that was in this area 'paper shown' do you know anything/ or I see you don't match exactly. Good day.)"
Real world:
Officer: FREEZE!!!!!
To use somebody's phrase "This isn't Mayberry" Yes there are kind cops, but more cops need people skills.
Yeah, back in the day you had cops that walked around in the hood, and everyone knew them. Now a cop just rolls up.
The same way you have police substations, you can work in a meet and greet. Columbus just had a Neighborhood meeting because of the local shootings. Why not be proactive, have the meeting at the substation, or the local rec center which is where this one was before things happen....
These are your local officers working in this substation then Q&A. If there is a drastic change in who is there have another one.
Same way we had safety city back in the day. The police would stop by the schools, and then the police dept made a little mock city across from the park, and the kids from school were brought there to learn safety....
I don't know if they do it in my home town anymore, but I do know crime has gone up from the time that I was a kid.
I don't follow... if I'm out minding my business and an officer approaches and asks me some questions, why would any sane person make their lives more difficult by infusing drama unnecessarily into the situation?
Officer: "Good morning, sir. How are you doing today?"
Me: "Fuck you pig! I got rights! I don't have to answer your baseless interrogation!"
