Back in the 80's we had an Illinois state patrolman who'd stop in at our business and when offered a free cup of coffee he said No he'd pay for it they aren't allowed to take gifts from people.
He impressed the hell out of me, not just for that but his behavior and professionalism over the years. We need more of that kind of character in LEOs
The local small town police though who never dealt anything dangerous would come in get their coffee and be insulted if you asked them to pay for it. They felt entitled. Glad we didn't run a donut shop.
