> Their accrual of power depends on being nice to the 30,000 people in the town

No it doesn't. Small town cops get their power from their lack of having anything to do and the blind support of the community.

The small town I grew up in had a cop murder four people because he broke chase policy and even left his jurisdiction. The town newspaper wrote a weeks worth of articles talking about what a great guy he was and how all the youths in the town loved him.

Don't piss off a small town cop. They have literally nothing to do and can/will pull you over every single time they see you.

I suspect that the difference in views is at least partially related to location - pclmulqdq sound's like something that I've heard from people in the Appalachians before, while your experience very much matches what I've observed in small town TX.

No actual data to back this suspicion of course, it's just anecdotal based on what I've seen and heard. Would be interested in data if anyone can provide it.

What's Chase policy? Is it about the bank, Chase? (I'm in Europe and don't know much)

They're talking about the policy for a car "chase". They edited their post to explain how the policy was broken.

One of the local cops around here got the Dick Cheney special at about "across the room" range a couple years back.

Of course the guy that shot him got railroaded but they never did tell the public what he and the guy with them were doing on that guy's property two towns out of their jurisdiction without a warrant...

I can see why the cop was feeling cockey though. This state has just about the lowest rate of firearms ownership in the country. They're not used to getting shot back at.
