You are talking about something you genuinely don’t know and are being overly confident about it.
I know that because if you think that something is “bad faith” while the vast majority of reasonable Americans (incl. officers) would agree with it, then you just don’t know about it, and that’s fine. I personally don’t consider your POV to be in bad faith, I just think you’re off base on this aspect of American culture, and probably more off base with American police culture.
“Bro” is simply not the word you think it is. And yes, it might be stupid for someone to talk a certain way to an officier (even if “bro” isn’t an insult), but re-read this thread, it started because you put “bro” at the same level as the other bullet points.
