Often officers simply wanted photographs.
Other times they invented reasons to start a conversation.

Exercising your power over people, disrupting their day and putting them in a stressful and possibly dangerous situation, just to satisfy your own curiosity, is a dick move.

If you would do that in the workplace it would be harassment. Isn't the public the workplace of the police though?

Probably doesn't help that hes dressed like he stole it.

I think the fact he isn't dressed in a gorilla suit (or as Donkey Kong) is a missed opportunity

Montana Banana is good, but it would be better if he was based in Alabama.
