I grew up in the 90s when you could talk back to police. I grew up talking back to police. Learning how to refuse to obey police was one of my earliest lessons. (Talk about white privilege!) After 9/11, every single moron with a badge suddenly became a little god who must be obeyed, and now they're carrying machine guns for some reason and wearing camo for some reason, and driving miniature tanks for some reason, and they bark "you're welcome" at you for some reason. They *march* now.
