Its hard to say. Ive only lived in two cities, so I cant comment on the whole country.

In Louisiana, they were absolutely unprofessional, extremely antagonistic, extremely violent, and they were extremely militarized to the point of them treating you like an insurgent. They were laser focused on marijuana and watched serious crime go unsolved on a daily basis to get marijuana. Why? Federal incentives. People were literally scared to call the BRPD because they would instantly start searching your shit to find something to charge you for. They look like gang members and bikers and stuff. Very intimidating and they openly say theyre not there to help you. They constantly patrol and pull people over for absolutely no reason just to search for pot. Theyre also overweight. 0/10

Not saying my current city, but Im in Colorado. These guys hold themselves to WAY higher standards. They dont want to charge you for some BS infraction because they want the crime rates to not be inflated with simple possession or loitering. They will help you if you call. They will not harass you on the street unless youre drunk. They dont patrol around to randomly pull people over and make them late. Theyre in way better shape than they were down south and they will actually mediate a situation where two people are out of line without arresting or charging anyone. This is what cops are supposed to be like.

The Baton Rouge Police are part of the reason that people call cops pigs. I have heard that cops are literally all like this across the Bible Belt. I have seen enough shows about Texas cops to know theyre way too strict.
