An old saying I heard was, "Everyone is a liberal until they are mugged. Everyone is a conservative until they are harassed by the police."

>I've heard an actual person say, "I though police were only like that to <...> people".

I saw a video of a lady getting a ticket for something and kept saying, "But I'm a Republican!" As if that would make the officer change his mind.
