I don't think you had to go as far as asserting that the parent is overtly lying...

Fair enough, I should have been more charitable.

I see you edited to remove the accusation of lying, but you left in "this is obviously and overt nonsense", which is pretty hostile and low value.

Edit: You also added "as opposed to the more charitable interpretation of their error", which is very passive aggressive and elitist.

Police come from working class backgrounds. It is usually the lower class not the working class who gets oppressed.
