A person stands on the sidewalk, clearly upset. A police officer approaches.]
Police Officer: Sir/Ma’am, I need you to calm down.
Person: Calm down? You just pulled me over for no reason! I wasn’t even speeding!
Police Officer: You were swerving, that’s why I stopped you.
Person: Swerving? No, I was avoiding a pothole! Is that a crime now?
Police Officer: I’m just doing my job.
Person: Your job? Your job is to protect people, not to harass them. Every time I step outside, it feels like I can’t breathe without getting stopped!
Police Officer: Look, I need you to lower your voice and show me your license.
Person: (frustrated) Fine, but you need to understand—this is exactly why people don’t trust the police.
[They hand over their license reluctantly. The officer sighs, tension still high.]
