It's like people forget that we're human as well, we have families, children and friends.

I don't think this is really the case. We know you're human and can have good days and bad days. On those bad days, you have the ability to completely screw somebody's life right to hell and back with lies and bogus charges. While you might lose a night of sleep over this, that innocent person will have a loss of freedoms, loss of income, and will face difficult hurdles their entire life.

We're very clear on the fact that you're a human. Humans can be horrible, uncaring, and downright nasty animals. Your badge doesn't exempt you from this, but makes you more of a potential threat to life and liberty.

Note: I'm not accusing you of any of these actions, just saying there is a potential for this with every encounter. Just like every encounter you have with a citizen in your jurisdiction, you must approach it with caution because you never know who is going to suddenly shoot you in the face. The same applies to us when we have an encounter with a police officer. This isn't distrust, just extreme caution.
