What’s up with the cop that cited them for that?

in my limited experience with the law, they tend to really go for you if you aren't the kind of person who enjoys breaking the law.

It's almost like they can spot an easy target.

Deal drugs and conduct yourself violently in society, sit with a gang and destroy property... Police seem to have a hard time with you.

Push someone over who is threatening to knock your teeth out when you're walking with your wife and kids... that's an assault charge, because naively you explained what happened to the police, and they're going to make sure you see the inside of a court room for it.

Quotas?
Dunno, probably just easier to “catch” people who think that they are good people, they think the police is on their side.
People who chronically are in trouble with the cops pretty quickly learn the police are working against them.

Regular people having a bad moment think they can just explain everything to the police and they'll go "Ah, sorry mate, we misunderstood and you can go home now"

Don't talk to the police!
